Hi. I have a couple of Chronos videos that will not play. While saving the files, the camera froze, showing a negative frame value, and required a restart to recover. V0.3.1-RC1 software is installed. Both files are 2147483647 bytes long, the maxed out value of 31 bits. Is there anything to try to recover any part of the files? I've tried various online mp4 recovery tools without success. VLC has not been able to fix the files. The SD card is formatted one of EXT formats. Should large files be avoided and known to cause the Chronos to freeze? Thank you and Happy New Year!
Large files shouldn't be a problem for the Chronos when using any of the EXT filesystems, as they support files over 2gb. Files over 2gb are only a problem on the FAT32 filesystem.
At what point did the camera freeze - at the beginning, middle or end of the save?
At what point did the negative frame number show?
Was the Abort Save button working?
What kind of storage device are you using - SD, USB, or eSATA?
Has this camera and/or storage device successfully saved videos before?
Are you sure that was saving in h264 format, not RAW16 or RAW12? On h264 saves, it shouldn't even be possible to exceed 2GB due to compression, at least with the size of that marked region, which is about 13800 frames long.
