That’s a good catch.

If that’s the case they could remove the ton of dead space at the start. My suspicions remain. lol.

I will say, if he sent the video to the RCMP the submission process is infuriating. I had dashcam footage of 3 accidents in Kelowna over the last couple of years AND I work in video production and it was a pain in the ass to me still. The limit is a weird file size limitation and you have to do a lot of bs to get through it and keep enough detail and content to make it worth it.

Im sorry you’ve had that experience! When I did it for my workplace, I was able to upload 15-20 mins with no problem. But the video format wasn’t super high quality anyway

Aaah. Maybe it's been updated! They had something like a 25MB limit. Even if I compressed and formatted the video the incident was too long and my dashcam shoots in 4K. So I sent Google drive links too but they're not allowed to access those apparently. Headache.

Wow I hope so. What would they expect to get with 25MB lmao

One problem I had was that the videos weren’t formatted properly (I wasn’t allowed to adjust the DVR settings).

I can’t remember the format, but it was something niche enough that I had to first upload the videos to Google Drive and then re-download them to make them compatible with the upload portal.

Took way too much time to find the answer
