Can’t recover media

What Craig and I have found was the name brand cards only need about 4-6 seconds to finished recording and the cheaper cards take up to 10 seconds or don’t work at all. This lag time is an indicator on weather the card is really fast enough IMO.

In any event this is one area where that seems to be overlooked and/or unknown to the user of the MxR/SDHC.

Oh and Don please email me your schedule for the film you are working on and I’ll do my best to get you a Flash XDR or Nano to work with.

Yeap, I new that no hurry to taking the card out, but I wasn’t aware of such long time needed.
Thanks for refreshing the data.
Whenever i can, I switch the camera off to change cards and I don’t let clips span.

Thanks for this very helpful response – I’m in post-production so I have very little control over what gets handed to me, but I’m going to stress from now on that people wait at least ten seconds before pulling cards.

In this case however, the card was archiving a live feed, and according to the person overseeing it, the device stopped recording when it switched to that card. Then she started it again and it stopped – so something else happened here, who knows what. I know all the cards were formatted and tested before they started…

Fortunately I was misinformed about the other two cards; they only needed to be recovered and we have everything from those.

We’re going to be using Sandisk Extreme III cards exclusively from now on in any case.

You mentioned that they were Ultra II. Where they Class 2 or Class 4? I have Class 2 which I bought in January and work like a champ. On the other hand the newer Class 4s seem to be the problem. Many people are reporting issues with them. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were Class 4 but could you confirm that?

I haven’t heard much recently about the Extremes. I think most people just moved to Transcend Class 6 which, from all accounts, are reliable. If you’re getting in to the Extreme price range than that’s the point to look a Hoodman. Either that or try Transcend.

Thanks, Michael. I’m very grateful to you for your generous offer. As soon as I know more about the shooting schedule I’ll be in touch.

Don my friend,
Thanks for that savior link.
I’ve been using DataRescue II to recover the MP4 from my death SDHC.
Worked great.
I thought that would work to in the SxS cards, but don’t.
DataRescue it can not even see the card in the Xpress slot.
It can scan it by USB, but even like that is not able to discover any file in the card.
This with a card in perfect use and full of media.
But I’ve run the “FileSalvage” everything shows up even the deleted files.
Great.

PS: I run it in Demo mode. I’m trying to buy the application, but PayPal&Co don’t let me do it.
It seems that they see risky any shopping coming coming from this corner of the world.
Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
