Hero 7 Black Firmware Update 1.8 only recording audio after a minute
[ New ]I did a really stupid thing. I updated my Hero 7 Black from 1.7 with which I have never had any problems to 1.8 .
Now, when I try to record, it kinda freezes after about 1 minute or so. The thing is that it starts recording fine and when looking at the footage the image stops at some point and there's only audio.
Is there a way to undo the 1.8 Update and go back to 1.7?

[ New ]You sure it's not a HEVC problem? Sounds awfully like it, gopro records but on playback on a computer the image freezes but audio continues.
Try playing the file with VLC player and/or read this link to get the codec for free:
