98bonerSTOCKshee Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 ok I tried and tried but am having no luck.. So I gonna ask the HQ!!! I have used SD cards in the past but have never had video clips as large as 160mb's.. The new cam I have will do good quality video but it I let the camera record continuosly I get about 18minutes on a 256mb card. When I place the card in my card reader via the usb port my pc takes a crap. To top it off I got a 512mb card now and the same happens.. If I do multiple clips instead of one big clip the video's tranfer fine. I have 2 256mb cards and a 512mb card and this happens on all 3 cards. Is there a fix? Is this to much for the USB? Do I just need more pc memory? I have had a few of the big video's tranfer to my pc but now it says file is corrupt or media player can't find the codec.... thanks, Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q-ball Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 if your computer is older it has a basic usb drive, newer ones have usb 2.0 and are faster andd can accept larger file transfers. the only real difference is that if you look at the connection itself, the usb 2.0 uses a 4 pin config. and usb only uses 2 pin. why they do this i dont know?...all four wires for all 4 pins have been there the whole time?!?! also your amount of ram might be an issue?! just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98bonerSTOCKshee Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 it says USB 2.0 next to the slot... I am think more RAM also.... It can't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooke Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 shouldnt you be transfering video via firewire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98bonerSTOCKshee Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 shouldnt you be transfering video via firewire? 497429[/snapback] no, this camera and my other 2 camera use SD cards.. I can plug the cam into the USB and it reads the card as a removable disk or I can place the card into the 7-1 card reader for the same effect.. Just like a digital camera.. I can't afford them fancy camcorders.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
