i just purchased the recorder 2 for in car racing videos. when the recorder is shutoff while recording the video wont playback. shows up as 0kb. i figure the other file thm is a temp file and is the file and i just need to rename it. i dont have a cf card reader so now i have to get one to rename the file. the 4gb drive does show a lot of space used up so i figure its there. very inconvient when not having a laptop or pc around. autorecover or abilty to play the temp files would be nice. also would be really cool to just record to cf disk without compression at all.

alright went and bought a CF card reader. so the thm files are also 0kb. this thing is getting sent back unless theres a fix. if simply turning off the recorder after an hour of recording erases the file its useless for any action shooting - in car, helmet cam, etc. now the CF shows 700mb being used so i still think the file is somewhere. where?

Don't be so quick as to blame the R2. Your memory could be the problem.
Since you did not have the card reader before, you probably have not
pre-formatted it on a pc.
I had the same issue as you, so I formatted the CF even though I had
recorded files on it. Guess what, when I formatted it, the files appeared.

i formatted the cf with the R2 before any recording. the problem is easily repeatable. start recording - instead of hitting 'stop recording', unplug the power. turn back on and the file you where recording is 0kb - but check available recording space and youll see total available space is down appropriately as if your file is somewhere hidden. ill be booting up linux to try and find the files tonight.

The operation that you are describing sounds a lot like pulling all of the cables out of the back of a PC while downloading or uploading a file, rather than waiting for the action to complete and then shutting down properly.

In either case it would not really be a bug, but more of an incorrect use with predictable outcome. The unit must be stopped to correctly save a full recording.

You are only receiving a fragment. Try stopping the recording and then shutting down the device properly.
