Recording Stops after 1 second! Why??

Had the same thing happen to me and I was able to fix it. Turns out the internal memory had become corrupted. Here's what I did: 1. Took out my SD card (in this case my 16 GB class 10) 2. Hooked up the playsport to my laptop (windows xp) 3. Once the device is recognized a removable drive will appear 4. Format the removable drive (FAT) 5. Remove USB device within windows 6. Detach playsport from laptop and power off (if it doesn't shut off automatically) 7. Put in SD card and give it a try!

Not that I have noticed, but the software records at about a 1-2 second delay. So make sure you use a second monitor/TV.

I am not sure about the voice you are talking about. The units I have don't have the voice every two minutes. It only say "start recording" when turn on and "stop recording" when turn off. Can you try reseting it?

It doesnt pause. When you stop and restart, it's recorded as a new video on the card. Windows Movie Maker works excellent for piecing the clips back together.

I have been having MAJOR problems getting the red 'rec' button to stop an in-process recording! Often, it doesn't stop at all, and I have to turn the unit off AS IT'S RECORDING!!! VERY ANNOYING.

Is yours only recording a single 3 minute clip/frame/segment or a number of them? Check your settings. I have mine set for 5 minute frames/segments etc. It records continuously for several hours (32GB) but when I down load the card the entire recording is appears in 5 minute segments. Makes it easier to find a spot in the journey. ??????

@Benjamin Augustine: I was having the 1 second recording problem, too. I followed your instructions to reformat the internal memory, and it did the trick. Thank you so much for sharing that!

I have had the same exact problem. Worked great for awhile; now just shows it is recording and doesn't register any sound. Would love to hear if anyone has a solution?

I've never encountered your situation, but it seems to me that any signals that enter the recorder should record ... if you have a cable that goes from HDMI to RCA. Good luck!

I bought two of these cameras and they recorded in 5 minute intervals. In other words, they recorded five minutes, closed the file, and continued with another file. I tried different SD cards to see if that was the cause. I tried 16 Gb and 4 GB cards to see if the card mattered. I preferred a camera that would record a file continuously, so I did not investigate further.

Idk I never got the thing to work long enough to record. Kodak could not help so I returned it. Good luck!

I have the same problem, I can do a one time recording but not a timed recording. According to the instruction manual set up for time recording and set input on/standby switch to standby. What am I doing wrong.

It will stop recording 30 seconds after it stops sensing motion. I hope that helps take care.

I never noticed a limit. It just let me record and didn't impose anything like a time limit.

hey Jeff, It loses all of everything u recorded if batteries die while recording! Recommend you purchase the a.c. power adapter to alleviate this issue.Harley

Same thing is happening to me. Was taking pictures one minute, next minute, went to black screen. No abuse to camera. This stinks. Will try reinstalling software. Take care.Janice
