I think he is looking for a maintenance agreement rather than insurance i.e., fix something that is broken for free. I would imagine that would be harder to find and more expensive than it is worth on a 3 year old piece of electronics. It is probably why the original ends at 3 years.

Marek, this is very important information as I have just upgraded to 1.26. Have you made Sony aware of this? Obviously a firmware upgrade should provide added capability not less. It would be nice to know exactly which cards are affected. I can understand problems with a 128GB card and cannot imagine using one but if 32GB cards are affected I would like to know.

I bought 6 from Bill Mintzer at Rule Boston Camera @ rule.com and have been very happy with their service and delivery. I do not know if they have them in stock. I noticed that B&H does not have them in stock which is highly unusual and says to me that they may be hard to get. I know that Sony delivery has been VERY slow since the Tsunami destroyed their plants.

Why wouldn’t you just make a SxS card to Thunderbolt adapter and cut out the express 34 card adapter. Also, I wonder if it supports 64-bit?

It appears as if you have to put your express34 card into the adapter. That seems a little odd.

Did you upgrade quicktime at the same time. Mauybe you lost a codec in the process.

The problem with switching from card to media would only come if you did not wait for the light to change color from green to red.
I would not lock the cards. You can’t record over existing footage anyway. The camera just goes past the last clip recorded.
I would also not delete clips. It is really easy to do after downloading the clips and it does not take much extra time like it did when digitizing a tape. If you need more space buy more SDHC cards.
I really would like for you to get your missing footage back but I am really clueless without having the card. I know that there are data recovery firms that can do it if you really need it. Also, Ian Cook from Sony who shows up here sometimes may be of further help.

The EX1r is much more user friendly when it comes to upgrading firmware. I know that you must have a certain firmware to be able to upgrade the EX1 with out a dealer but I do not know what firmware that is. I would talk to an authorized Sony dealer before I upgraded an EX1.

Still thinking about you. Did you have any luck opening the clips in XDCam Transfer? Under logging on the right hand side of the screen see if it allows you to select subclips. You may be able to import without the orphaned clip.
When you record a clip that is more than 3.2 GB (I think) a new clip is automatically created (because the cards are FAT32 formatted). Is it possible that you created a sub clip and deleted part of it? This could cause your problem. I never delete while recording. It makes me too nervous that I am going to delete the wrong clip. I would never even rewind a videotape while recording for fear of recording over something. Do you do this to save space?
