[QUOTE="Andre Levite, post: 84583, member: 10850"] A corrupt file won't necessarily give you a specific pop up warning or error message. A corrupt file will behave exactly as you described - it just sits there unresponsive. There are abundant file recovery tools. Many of the free ones are pretty weak. But even the more costly ones can be time intensive. Only you can decide if a particular file is worth the time and money. [I]Going forward your greatest ally for a mission critical shot is [B]REDUNDANCY[/B][/I]. I perform 5 or 6 takes of any important footage to guard against lost files. Assure proper composition and framing by reviewing cache file. I swap the SD card with each battery change. I only use high quality U3 speed cards like Samsung Evo or SanDisk Gold. Any event that is a true one off and cannot be replicated may require a partner with a second drone or an assistant to view the SD files while still in the field. That's how the experienced wedding photogs do it -- multiple camera operators each with multiple camera bodies, lenses, batteries, filters and storage media. And they take hundreds more shots then they expect to ever use. It is far easier to take steps to prevent lost footage than it is to try to recover it later. Redundancy. Cheers [/QUOTE]
