Hi, Question, why is my video of the road showing artifacts? IO thought it was from using LUTs but even the raw video is kinda crappy.

@Ruby888

I find your post a small bit confusing, maybe because i'm not familiar with gopro footage.

The 1st video info is for mp41 which is considered nowadays to be near obsolete codec. The 2nd. one, avc, looks ok.

Can you post mediainfo output of file.

Is it that there are 2 video streams in the file and vp is displaying or probably only loading the 1st. poorer mp41 .stream. If that is the case the 2nd. video stream, which is not getting loaded is probably better quality.

Ideally make available a sample in say dropbox to download.
