I haven't been able to duplicate your problem...so I am assuming you are not using software correctly (vlc player) ...if the Shadow says it is recording, it is ..and it could be a bad chip ..I would start with a new chip before I did anything else...If that fails, I would start fresh with a new reload of VLC player ..

If you're using a Windows PC, try downloading .mov files from the SD card onto your hard drive. Then right click on that file and choose "open with", and use a different program, e.g., such as Windows Media Player.

I was messing with settings and had the same thing happened to me with it stopping and not recording constantly. I just reset it to default and after restart I picked English again. The default settings work best for me. I have used class 4 and class 10 microSDHC successfully with camera. If your computer doesn't read the videos on the memory card just plug camera into tv and or monitor with hdmi to verify that it is being recorded. I view and import videos with adapter card inserted into front of computer and realplayer program.

There was not flash memory with the card. You should look for a high speed flash card to make sure the video processes affectively. That is the key issue.

Wow, sounds like the cam is at least _partially_ to blame if it gets that hosed over any memory card that does anything less than short out connections.You may have done this but just in case:-Are any of the pins in the CF slot on your camera bent? The SD adapter might have done that.-Is there any global reset for your camera? The controller in it is likely confused, but not _broken_ per se.

This is probably a couple months late, but from the page, I can tell you they say: Capture images to SD/SDHC memory cards (not included). That is all I know. I'm waiting for mine to arrive in the mail.

The display is very dim, impossible to view in sunshine. So suggest you try at low light level. If recording there should be a flashing red dot at top left of display.You need a fast SD card suggest class 10. If you see a blue screen with card error cycle power and try again.Also you might dig down through menus and format card If card is not responding or try another SD card.Make sure power is connected and that internal battery is charged.Good luck

The only thing I can think of is that there is no memory card in the camera. Please check to be sure the memory card is installed correctly.

Hi, If the Tiny little red light is on it is recording, Make sure you have it set to one minute in recording options not five Minutes. Files will be to large to load. This video should help.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-dfvPX0dOs

You are correct, there is a microSD card that installs in the belly of the unit. You start/stop recording by pressing a very small button next to the card slot. I purchased a class C10 SD card as it records faster so the video is smoother than a less expensive card. After flying, you can put the card in your phone, or computer to play back the video. It's very good considering the cost of the unit, w/ auto-adjusting contrast and exposure. Enjoy.

I had the same problem: first, make sure the microsd card has the recommended class or higher; second try download latest version off vlc player it should work, and sometimes a newer processor of the laptop/pc could be the problem

Did it power off after five minutes or did it stop recording after 5 minutes? Is your SD card full? I would think the only reason it would stop recording after five minutes would be if your SD card is full. If it is not, I would probably return it.

Have you try a different SD card? After you re-insert the SD card; did you un-plug and re-plug the power? If you have tried all of the above, and it still doesn't record; the unit might be defective. Please email us at customersupport@cavalrystorage.com so that we can swap out with a new unit for you.

I cannot help. I never tried either using the camera w/o SD card. I suppose this is when you face the necessity to download internal memory.

All I ever do is drag the videos into a folder on my computer to save for later or into the trash, I have never had an issue myself. Have you tried emptying the trash, unplugging the camera, and then plug the camera back in?

The thing is, they're not even showing up as being on the card, but they show up when I go through the files on my camera. And I made sure they're actually ON the SD card, because it says my internal memory is empty. I was reading other posts and I think I may have recorded them in the wrong format? I don't know how to change that though...

Try reset cam while plugged in it may also depend on windows version may not be compatible with 8 and up you may need to load basic player for the cam also try finding it in my computer right click explore

If this is from the External SD card to your hard drive, could it be that you used that card in another video recording device too? Or, if it's copying to your DVD drive, older drives may require conversion from AVCHD. I don't have such a drive, so I cannot test what the error message would be in that case. I sometimes use it to record in MPEG2 for use on older DVD players, letting the camera do the conversion. Maybe that's what you have to do.
