SD Card Issue

Speedway

Hi all,

I did a rally day in Rally Connection in waterford today. I paid €40 for a 2gb SD card for the in car camera to film the driving for the day.

Just got home to Cork and the 2gb SD Card is showing 800mb of space used for the 3 runs in the car and there are 3 avi files on the SD card.

Problem is the 3 AVI files are showing 0kb in windows xp. They won't play in WMP or VLC. I copied them across to the desktop from the SD card and the same is happening.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

The card may be corrupted. Where did you buy the card, what brand is it? e40 for a 2gb card is way too expensive btw

oh ya i know €40 is waaaay too much. It was just that you paid €40 for your driving to be recorded and got a 2gb card with it.

this is the card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820178100
was taken out of the packet brand new in front of me so I'm hoping it's not corrupted

any chance it could be something to do with disk formats or the size of the AVIs being quite large? card is formatted as FAT rather than FAT 32 could that be an issue?

thanks!

I'm really only guessing here but did you format it before you used it?


Can you play it back on another computer/laptop or even the camera?

Try playing them with VLC which can play any file format (not if they're corrupted unfortunately:()


P.S. FAT is fine, it only NTFS that has the 4gb limit

Many digital cameras these days recored video, stick the card into one and see if you can play the files on the camera.

yep tried it on my own camera and its just showing read error. Just wondering does anybody know if I can do a hash check or some kind of CRC check on it to see if the card is corrupt?
