[Patch Bodenham]

Hey,. for the record I’m having the same problem but different.

I captured some audio using Sennheiser G2 wireless into a Zoom H4N – three files to be precise. The first two read perfectly, but during the final recording the Zoom ran out of battery and turned off before I hit stop.

I can play out the audio in VLC that I have uploaded to my drive, but it must be corrupted somehow as it won’t read into FCP.

Can anyone think of a workaround?

Any help would be hugely appreciated

For the record, I’m wondering why Zoom haven’t designed a work around that secures a file before loss of power while running on battery. I recently bought an H4N and have been screwed over by its crappy design on my first two shoots, because power loss running into G2 mics half way through the recording. It’s really pretty basic stuff to work out a way of making files safe before they corrupt on loss of battery. There are hundreds of other people in various forum I can see suffering the same thing…. Bunch of balls
