combine video files for date
Id there a way I can combine the video files by data so that its not just a bunch of 1 min video clips? IE I would like it to have the entire day as one video file? Im still in the first 6 days of testing and Im about to purchace the app I love it but Im trying to automate this as much as possible for backups

Not with this app.
I think there are a few scripts around that might do something similar.
Issue’s will be:
Will use a lot more HDD space whilst it’s working.
May use a reasonable amount of CPU depending whether can get away with just stitching files together (sometimes hard depending on nature of the files, codecs etc.)
Would loose all the events/impact, emergencies etc - all would be lumped together
If there is a file error would likely loose the whole day.
Would loose any compatibility with current Blackvue playback app - which is currently works well from the current download folder.
For these reasons don’t think it would be even an optional extra for this app.

Re: combine video files for date
All of Glenn's points are valid and a genuine argument NOT to combine the files.
If you accept the drawbacks outlined above, but still want to proceed, the easiest way to combine them is via a simple Windows CLI command which you could certainly wrap a script around: copy /b video1.mpg+video2.mpg+video3.mpg video-allday.mpg
