Is this the folder you speak of?
I check the TM backup and everything in that folder is also in the backup as expected.
Yeah I don’t understand how an option for a scheduled backup of the database isn’t built into the control panel. It seems like it should be standard practice. But then again I didn’t write the code and don’t have a fraction of the knowledge about it so I can’t say much.
Let me know if that’s the folder/file you were talking about and I could send it over or something? Thanks!

Alright, I will do that. Doesn’t sound like I have any other option anyway. Thanks for your help.

Weird that it says it was created in ’79??
No problem but good to know. If I call and send it in, will this be considered a warranty issue or something like that?

That’s the thing. I though I was in the clear because I could get to the files on the card. But I can’t do anything with them because I can’t copy them anywhere. None of the software solutions can see the card like normal, so I can’t extract the video that way. Manually importing in CB doesn’t do it. Tried FFMpeg, same thing. It’s like those extra files on there are telling the comp to not let me do anything to the video files. And I can’t just duplicate and try deleting because I can’t copy those files either.
I just remembered one other factor. So normally our workflow is: shoot on card, archive card, put card back into loop, when card is used again-format card in camera that needs to use it. Well when I put this card into the 350, it said 110 min. just as if it was already formatted. What if the card was formatted on an EX3 and then put into the 350? I mean it’s basically the same camera but a different body but maybe??
Is there any Sony people that troll this site or should I just make a call?

Yeah the card mounts just fine and I can click around on all the files. But when I go to drag it to the comp to copy, the comp says that the file is not readable. Yes, I tried importing manually and it gave the same reply, that the file could not be read. I did try the salvage on the same camera.
I wasn’t the actual person that was using the camera when this happen and the guy that was using it tends to screw things up and not tell the truth about what really happened.
With that said, do you think that if the camera was recording and shut down, new battery, powered back on, card said “needs to be restored”, then the guy removed the card because he didn’t know what that meant, but then put the card back in and then I tried the restore. Do you think that series of things could have caused the corruption?I don’t feel that I need to send in for recovery because I can access the files. I just feel like a programmer needs to take a look at the card and in a way, manually restore the card. Just a thought. What do you think?

That is exactly what the problem was. Assign switch 2 was set to Rec Cache. Thanks!!

Hey thanks for your reply. That helps. I actually had a chance to check the fit on an actual camera since the time I wrote this post. Thanks again.

David, That wouldn’t make any sense though. Because the camera has the ability to record 4 seperate channels. Unlike DV which sets it to 1/3 and 2/4 and 12 bits. I think it might be possible, the only thing I might see as an issue is telling 3/4 and four to get the seperate channels from the slot load receiver.
I hope this is an option for us because we just don’t have the ability to have a seperate mixer/recorder. The cost of the camera isn’t the issue. If we had three of the 744T’s and no camera it’s kinda hard to film a show like that. (jokingly)

We film a fishing and hunting show. Not so much for the hunting but for the fishing show we often have 3 and 4 people fishing at the same time and like to have them all mic’d separately. Unfortunately because we are in the field and in a boat and all over the place a external recorder just isn’t a solution. I think I may have found my answer though:
Let’s say I have the HDX900. I plug two mics into the back inputs and use this from Lectrosonics Dual CH. Slot Load for the other two channels. Does it look like this could work? With this is the idea that I select 1 and 2 to the back and 3 and 4 to the wireless dual chan receiver.

Well that is refreshing to hear because I have been chasing my tail trying to dig up something for a while now.
I have a question though. Let’s say I have the HDX900. I plug two mics into the back inputs and use this from Lectrosonics Dual CH. Slot Load for the other two channels. Does it look like this could work?
