I bought a Sony SDHC Class 10 card 32G for the Avermedia Portable and it doesn't work. I get alternating blue and red flashing lights. Any ideas?

I talked to avermedia and the SD card has to be formatted as a FAT32 specifically. I did not see that option in Win 7 (my OS). I downloaded AOMEI Partition Assistant and reformatted the card to be FAT32 and it works now for me.

check the manual booklet that came with it, it tells you what the different light patterns mean

Hi Jeffrey. I still don't buy external memory. I am working only with PC (More exactly Notebook). I will buy the external memory class 10 to use in my APL. Sorry for cannot help you. But, I know that red light and blue light means red is recorded to PC or External Memory and Blue is livestream.

I just got my LGP. I'm experiencing the same alternating lights. Unfortunately the user guide only says the light sequence is an error message but nothing further. I had inserted a PNY Optima 4GB class 4 SDHC. Realized later the LGP requires a class 10. Bought a Monster Digital SDHC 32Gb class 10 (also package says UHS-1, not sure what that means). Attempted record again in pc free mode and still the same blue/red alternating lights. Avermedia says SDXC type card need the re-format, wonder if might work on this SDHC

My kit was the lesser package, 32gb card. I asked the same question, someone told they got a class 10 Fujifilm. I ordered mine, and got a class 10 Sony (40Mbps) card. Beach Camera, if you your reasearch isn't a two bit operation, they'll give a card that'll work, mine works flawlessly, and I do iALL full HD video. So in relation, I hope that might help answer your question.

Cards for these cameras MUST be Class 10 or better. Failure to adhere to this can destroy the camera (or at least freeze it up) as lesser cards are too slow to keep up with the data rate as the camera writes high definition video to the card.

This camera is old and will not recognize SD cards that are high capacity (SDHC). You need to make sure the card has no more than 2 gb (I think that's the limit) and it should work. I've used several different kinds of sd cards with no problem. Once you are sure you have the correct type of sd card, if it still doesn't work try formatting the card in your computer first but only if the camera itself won't do it. You should always try using the camera's internal formatting when possible. Hope this is helpful to you. Doreen

Video playback is a bit hit and miss. Some play, some freeze the machine. I am trying to get the spec for compatible formats for .avi and .mp4 from Coby and waiting for a reply.The standard mini-USB plug cable allows you to manage and transfer files between the frame and a computer. The cards in the DP-102 will show as external drives on the PC.

I have constant trouble with these things saying the SD cards are corrupted. Once that happens, it doesn't even record to my computer for some reason, live viewing only.

After you install the new firmware to the card, power the unit up while holding down the play button. Then press the >> button once and press record....give it about 5 seconds and then power it off and then back on and it should work just fine.....just sort of did it by accident!

I am wondering the same now.. No wonder I have never been able to get it to work on my computer. Lately can't get my camera to even recognize the card. I had to go purchase a new card

Just to add to the chorus, I use an 8GB Transcend Class 6 MicroSDHC card (w/SD adapter obviously) and it works great. No problems with burst mode or filming AVCHD video at all.

Very informative, Matthijs. I was wondering why the card from my new camera was not getting recognized. Old was SD New was SDHC. My version is 20-90-00136. Guess I will go to Sandisk to see if I can update the firmware. EDIT: Well, I just checked. Looks like I am SOL! I guess a new card reader is in the cards.

i bought the Kingston 16 GB Class 4 MicroSDHC Flash Card with SD Adapter SDC4/16GB and have it in my Camera and it works perfectly. i have my camera set to HD mode and it gives me almost 3 hours of recording time.

I can not be sure of your situation but I was having trouble with a a high speed card reader that I purchased with the camera. Then a friend suggested I purchase a Kingston card reader (under $20 at the time) which reads multiple card styles and I have not had any trouble since.

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.

Thank you all for your prompt answers. I actually tried the Kingston Technology 128 GB Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC) Class 10 Memory Card and it worked! I hope that our dialogue has been beneficial to all. God bless!

After owning this machine for about 3 months, I have my question answered. I have tried class 4, 6 and 10 SDHC cards, and they all perform nicely without any problem, all the video (1080i) playback were smooth no matter they were recorded by class 4, 6 or 10.Also, still very happy about my purchase, just came back from a family vacation over the summer, and this one device does it all, my camcorder is now collecting dust.

I use a Canon Vixia camcorder with HDMI input and it works great.The input card uses PCI-E X1 so it should plug into any open PCI slot, even the X4 X 8 and X16 types. The computer does not recognize the card upon first install, download the software/driver combo from AVermedia and it will work fine.

I have been using the Sandisk Ultra SDHC Class 4 8GB and it worked fine, but it takes a couple seconds for it to record the picture after I have taken it. I just bought the Sandisk Ultra SDHC Class 6 8GB and the camera says that it is not formatted. It does not work for some reason. Both the cards are exactly the same, except my newer card is Class 6. Does anyone know the problem or have the same one?
