I'll verify tomorrow or the next day, but pretty sure it's the lilliput and not the camera causing the white out. All those videos were shot only minutes before. I think when I plugged in the cam to the lilliput it glitched it. Easy enough to verify.
The other thing I need to do is put the cam on regulated voltage.
For the in car testing, I'm just running it to the ACC socket. I know with some of the cheaper cmos cameras, the picture brightness varies somewhat with voltage. Maybe the same here?
For the polarizing film, did you use it as the display or just lay it over the lilliput? The privacy film I use is sort of like a polarizer, but with a somewhat wide angle. When I layed it over the lcd itself, the double reflection was just about gone.
Did some night driving and it's raining like crazy. Even if the light can be compensated, polarizing I don't think will be a bad idea. You can see that wet ground reflects a lot and hides detail (lane markings for one).
I encoded these at a lower rate. The pause is gone, but obviously, the quality isn't as good. In particular, when it's dark. No IR illumination in any of these.

This one's a little interesting. One, it shows how the camera distorts. That's a somewhat tight spot, but you'd never know it.
The other is the flickering light, denoted by the arrow. If you watch the vid, there's this light just flickering (not to the eye of course, just the camera). I think when I pull out, it's at least somewhat my headlights, but before when I'm not moving... dunno.
Not sure of the cause, but as the car pulls up to it, it becomes a massive glow.
