Corrupt Files on 4GEE Action Cam

Hi Friends I have this 4GEE Action which to fair is usually a fantastic bit of kit, except I keep running out of data from streams but thats another story. Recently Ive been usng it with a 64GB Samsung SD Card and have done since having it. For some reason all my recordings past a certain point are corrupted and wont playback on quicktime or VLC (I should point out im using a Macintosh) I have re-formatted the card and that seems OK, Reset the action cam and that seems OK as well. The camera does pick up the full 7hrs of recording time and the 16K+ of photographs so clearly the memory is readable on the card. Is anyone able to shed some light on this? I go on a diving holiday in 10 days so would love to work this out. Many thanks for any help you kind people push my way.

ive got the excact same problem

  • 4GEE Action Cam file splitting

    Hi all,  I've just purchased one of the new 4GEE action cams and am using it out running or cycling. If i'm out for any length of time then the camera is splitting the video up into roughly 12 minute segments. Is there any way i can turn this off so that the entire video is recorded to one larger file as I have plenty of room on the memory card. EE said it was to do with protecting people's data allowances but I have my data turned off and I'm not streaming anyway. Thanks in advance

    Hi   (and , ), I checked in with someone on our Action Cam team and found the information below. I hope it helps! Let me know.
    The camera supports FAT32 which is basically how the camera more efficiently stores memory. We’ve designed the camera so it splits files every 2GB of data making it easier for customers to download each segment. The camera doesn’t stop recording but for example an 8GB card would have 4 split files making it easier to download and edit those files.
    So - I'm afraid you can't switch it off, as it's not a setting that can be changed. Unfortunately not. It’s a software thing so not a setting that can be changed.
    Will that work out ok for you in the end ? Your feedback using the Action Cam is really useful so if there's anything from your experience which I can pass back to the team - I'm all ears!

  • Mp4 files taken on action cam unable to playback

    You may wish to download a player called vlc media player. It's free and will play anything. I have used it for years. Just goole it.

  • 4GEE Action Cam - account access problem

    Not sure if this is the best place to ask as it's more to do with the app you have to install on your phone to use the camera. But I am in the app, on the "Settings / Your Account " page, I press "Data Management"  it says I need to be paired to the camera to view. So I turn on the WiFi and pair up to the camera, go back to the page and it now says I need to be connected to the 3G/4G network to view. So I am caught in a trap. I cannot have both WiFi and 3G/4G network on at the same time so how am I meant to view my account?

    Hi 
    Sorry about that a bit of confusion there! 
    Right from what I found you can't check your data allowance via the app. You can see the data usage alert texts in Settings > Your Account > Messages. 
    You can purchase more data via the app.
    But to view remaining data you would need to log in to My Account. Click Here for the help & Support pages.
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks.

  • Action Cam, Recording blank files

    I have an action cam with a 64gb Sandisk Card, when i set it to record it will record files of 10-12 mins at a time instead of continuous, which is fine, but after 4 files the 5th an on are totally blank, they had a data size, 1.77gb, a file name as normal, and a type .mp4 as normal. But there is no no video same with any photographs, the are all blank........ When I later added a new file without the watch it was a blank file again, if using the watch instead of just the button on camera, it works fine again. Does this mean I need to always use the watch, I paddleboard and the watch is just a pain to use all the time....

    I was having exactly the same problem and fingers crossed I have sussed it.  Well it worked for me, hopefully you too! The problem I had was I got a 64GB card and noticed as soon as the clip got to anythinging bigger than a few hundred MB it would not download to PC or play back for love nor money, either through the PC or the Camera app on iphone/ipad etc.  I have seen EE's advice, download VLC.  Well I tried that and I tried every player I had, Itunes, VLC, etc etc, all coming back with various messages, mainly saying the codec must be corrupted.  EE were unable to help so..... Try formatting the card from the camera itself and not in the PC. It's in the settings, just go through the menu and you will find it. Format it in situ and voila! Now  I did not do this previously beacuse as soon as i got the card and put it in the camera it seemed to work fine as I did a quick short clip to test it.  It seemed that as they get bigger they did not work.  Unfortunately you will lose everything you have recorded and you will not be able to recover them. I can say it has worked perfectly since, any size and EVERY time.  Good luck and if this works, pass it on!  It seems a common problem so hopefully, if this works for everyone, EE will add it onto the quick links.

  • Lightroom 5 corrupting files

    Hello all - I've read on the forums that some users have experienced file corruption they attribute to Lightroom, while others in response insist Lightroom cannot alter an original raw file in any way.  That said, it sure seems to me that Lightroom is somehow corrupting some of my Nikon NEF files.
    This appears typically as lines of "ripped", blocky and unregistered color across the image left to right in horizontally formatted NEF files, as an example. Some portion of the image may also be missing and appears white on screen.  These were files shot in the field and originally imported to a laptop, backed up to external drives, and one of those drives used as the source for import into my desktop editing machine.  The corruption occurs after ingest into the desktop, and seems to happen randomly. 
    On occasion I am able to discard the preview for the corrupted file and regenerate a preview, which in turn reveals the image is in fact okay.  However, as I encountered this afternoon, the regenerated preview results in no change to the apparent file corruption.  I took this file into One One Photo Suite software, and it originally showed a preview JPG as non corrupt but when I selected the image to edit full screen it would not read the file.  I took the same file then into View NX software where its preview again appeared fine in the grid view, then fine again when I brought the file up on full screen to edit.  I output a TIF version of the file from View NX and the output TIF exhibited the same visual corruption as I found initially in Lightroom. When back in View NX, I select the RAW button in the upper left corner - this seems to generate a new preview in View NX and indeed the new preview file appears corrupt.
    The original file on the laptop and on its external backup drive check out okay - I re-ingested them to a test folder on the desktop, and they read fine in View NX and in Lightroom.  So the problem occurs on my desktop sometime after ingest from the laptop (I know this because the file was appeared a-okay after that laptop to desktop ingest, but now - a couple of days later - it is corrupt on the desktop harddrive).
    I've checked and rechecked the desktop harddrive (a 4tb drive) and it checks out okay. 
    It sure seems to me that Lightroom must read the original NEF file in order to extract metadata as well as the JPG preview file from it.  I don't see any other way for Lightroom to bring that information into its catalog, so my assumption therefore is that Lightroom in fact accesses the original NEF file to do this.  If it accesses it at least reads the file and my thought is that action must somehow corrupt the file data on random images, or perhaps in the process of extracting metadata and writing sidecar XMP files, as I've set my system up to do that by default.
    BTW this has occurred most recently on D7100 camera files as well as my new D810 camera files.  The file in question came out of the D810.
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

    I'm using Lightroom - latest version 5.7 (on both laptop and desktop) - to ingest from cards into laptop.  I then output a catalog containing the recent shoot to the laptop's external backup drive, take that drive to the desktop, connect via USB 3.0 and use Lightroom on the desktop to import the catalog to the desktop.
    Here's a link to the corrupted NEF file in a dropbox folder:  Dropbox - VisWild-Moab-RD-120514-1074.NEF
    and a link to a TIF version of the same corrupted file:  Dropbox - VisWild-Moab-RD-120514-1074.TIF
    and a link to the uncorrupted version of the NEF file pulled from the laptop backup external drive (renamed to "...1074a.nef" so as not to overwrite the n.g. file in the same dropbox folder):  Dropbox - VisWild-Moab-RD-120514-1074a.NEF

  • Action cam and vibrations

    I just got an X1000V.  It works great most of the time, but today I attached it (by suction mount) to my snowboard. NONE of the films worked.  For some reason the files corrupted.  Sometimes when I stopped and checked the camera it had 'hung', it was unresponsive. Has anyone else had this problem?  I'll probably take it back under warranty.

    Hi pletharoe, 
    We're sorry to hear this. The action cam can be used in temperatures between -10°C and +40°C (14°F and 104°F). We would recommend sending the camera in for further evaluation and repairs.

  • Computer shuts on and off some corrupted files - no virues now

    Listed below are some of the errors I found on event log in the laptop:
    I have a Qosimo 8 megs of memory, windows 7 64 bit. Running AVAST 7.0 antivirus and Malwarebytes - both paid subscriptions. I think the model number is 830 530 I bought in 2009.
    The shutdown problem has
    been happening on and off for the last six months. I had two major instances of trojans taking over my machine and it caused constant shutdowns. AVAST worked with me on one and they had me use malwarebytes and spybot and hijack this. They took over my computer to get it up and running properly, but this new round of errors a trojan was found in the registry key and the startuptoolbar. Two nights ago I had another shut down several times and after running malwarebytes and antivirus I could find no errors so I’m leaning toward corrupted files? Is there anyway to fix these files without having to reformat the hard drive?
    I did run a computer repair and a computer memory repair tonight using F8 and no problems were found by the computer. I’m not sure what to do with these errors in event viewer.. I get the toshiba error
    quite often and it madely stops me from going online with my internet connection, and I had downloaded a newer version but same problem – I use windows repair in network and the error is always resetting the toshiba network IP. I just put a note into toshiba on that problem.
    I also use microsoft silverlight for my fenderfuse application which needs that software operate properly. I’m not sure exactly what to do with that Custom dynamic link libraries are being loaded for every application. It states to check libraries – but what am I checking for? I do not have a lot of programs on the laptop but not sure what to look for in library?

    Sometimes my computer shuts down often on its own and I find a Trojan - other times it shuts down often during a start up and I find no viruses as was the case yesterday.  Today I did not get on the internet and the computer worked fine.  
     I guess I need to know if there is a way to reinstall the corrupted files without having to go back to the default settings when I got the computer.  Does toshiba have a windows repair disc that works better then what I did with using F8 and having a system repair and memory check done that found no errors?  I also installed the latest Toshiba service station and it did not fix the error problems in events log.  When I did a restore it was before this was added so now my computer is working properly with windows on connecting to the internet wireless.
    Malwarebytes said that by looking at these event viewer logs that it does not appear that I have a virus now but I do have corrupted files and can toshiba help me in getting them fixed.  I really hate to do a complete reformat.
    Thanks

  • External hard drive, error -36, corrupt files and slow transfer speeds

    This is a long post but stay with me.
    I've got an external 250GB Lacie drive connected to my 24" Intel iMac via Firewire 800. I have approximately 80GB worth of files (including my iPhoto library) on the Lacie that I'm trying to move over to my iMac but have run into some frustrating problems.
    Overall, transfer speeds are erratic – fine at times and SUPER SLOW (5 minutes to transfer a 3MB file) at other times. At first I was transferring entire folders, but after always getting errors (error -36 to be exact), I was having to transfer individual files. This works fine as long as the files aren't too big (which makes the transfer speeds SUPER SLOW) and not corrupt (which gets me an error -36). Is my Lacie crashing on me? Is there any hope?
    Here's what I've done to try and salvage my sanity with no resolve to my problems (not exactly in this order):
    1) Ran Disk Utility to repair Lacie. Everything came back OK
    2) Ran Disk Warrior on Lacie. Found a handful of bad items that Disk Warrior was able to repair. Had Disk Warrior replace the old directory of the Lacie with the new directory.
    3) Ran Drive Genius: Raired and Rebuilt the directory, did an Integrity Check (came back OK), attempted to Defrag but could not because of errors to the drive, did a Scan for bad blocks (which after running for 3 days! it was only 20% complete and had found over 150 bad blocks, at which point I quit to try something else)
    4) Checked that my Firewire cable was properly connected and replaced the older one I was using with a brand new one.
    5) Disconnected all peripherals except for keyboard, mouse and Lacie.
    6) And at times, even viewing a file on the Lacie has caused my Finder to crash, requiring a restart of my iMac.
    I'm sure I've left something off I've tried but you get the idea.
    I've read that maybe I can transfer my files using Terminal. Yes/No? Does this bypass any corruption the files may have?
    What about creating a second partition on the Lacie and moving files over to the second partition? Does this solve anything? I don't know anything about partitioning so maybe I'm talking crazy.
    I've also read that iPhoto tends to corrupt files which makes me hate iPhoto, and myself for not backing up.
    And I've read a lot about error -36's and none of it sounds good so I'm just hoping that someone might have other suggestions for me to try and save my files (especially my iPhoto files which include baby pictures that if I lose, my wife will kill me).
    So if anyone has any ideas, let me know. Please. I'll try anything.

    Hi Aaron Thompson-
    I am fairly certain you have a bad power supply brick to the LaCie drive. This is a hard problem to troubleshoot as generally when the bricks go bad they do so slowly and the drive appears to power up and stuff but it just doesn't work.
    If the drive is under warranty LaCie will replace the brick at no charge. Otherwise they sell them for around $20US on their website.
    Luck-
    -DP

  • How do I find a corrupt file on my iPod Classic?

    I had an iPod Classic which started rebooting itself as I would navigate the menu.  At the suggestion of a friend I mailed it to a non-Apple repair shop in Kansas City.  I paid $160 for them to install a new hard drive and it was returned to me, but the problem was still happening.  The repair shop claimed that I must have a corrupt file on my device causing the issue.  My 2nd course of action was to bring it to an Apple store.  They replaced the iPod Classic with a new one for $130.  (I should have gone to them in the first place.)  Brought the new device home yesterday and resynched it.  Tested it out for the first time and immediately it rebooted as I was navigating the menu system.  This is depressing. Now I am thinking the first repair shop may have been right.  But on a 160 GB hard drive that is almost full, how do I find the file(s) that are causing the problem?

    In doing some research on the internet I found someone suggest that complicated playlists may be the culprit.  The person said he removed his complicated playlists and the problem went away.  I am going to try removing all my playlists and see what happens.

  • Corrupted files in Bridge

    I have recently started migrating image files (Camera raw + JPGs) from older external drives to new drives (same brand - G-drive) I have never had any issues with these drives until they were way past their prime. I just viewed folders in bridge and saw image thumbnails BECOME CORRUPTED as I scrolled through the folders. I opened the files, and they were corrupted. (no prompt, just gargbage). I am assuming there was either a problem with the new drive, or with the transfer process. I am posting here because I had similar issues a few years back with raw files from an older camera, and a previous version of Bridge. After multiple updates, Bridge no longer corrupted raw files from that camera. I'm using Bridge 5.0.2.4 (will update to new version today).
    The corrupted files were (drag) copied from multiple external hard drives.
    I want to know if anyone is encountering similar corruptions? These are Canon Raw files from a Canon 5D (1st gen)
    MacBook pro "15" late 2011, OS 10.7.5 - 8Gb Dram
    These are the first corrupted files I have encountered using this MacBook. It has been very stable. I did however, find hard drives going into Sleep Mode during long tranfers, even when I had set prefs NOT to let Computer OR Hard Drives sleep.

    What type of RAW files are we talking about, NEF,CR2 or other?
    Bridge is just a flle browser, and RAW files are opened and edited in Adobe Camera Raw.  Do you just get a thumbnail, but it willl not open in ACR?
    Does ACR work with other RAW images that have not been corrupted.
    Do you have a backup (highly recommended) of these images somewhere?  Should be on seperate physical drive or on a DVD.
