File failed after recording for some time the camera froze up. If I try to play back it gives me file failed. Why did this happen?

Look for a Menu then FPS (Frames per second) option.30 fps should solve your issue. sometimes in order to keep file size low the setting is slower causing this issue.Good Luck.

Check to make sure that non of the following apply to you.

• Make sure LOCK function is not activated.
• Make sure memory is not full.
• If you have recorded 99 files in one folder. Try to record in a new folder.
• You may have formatted the player with incorrect file system (e.g. NTFS or MAC format).
• You must use the provided Digital Voice Manager (DVM) software to open the files.

If none of this things are you problem, then you most likely have a faulty voice recorder. Check your warranty to see if you can get a free replacement.

You should not reformat the player unless you want to clear the mp3 player completely - erasing all music, recording, and other files completely.

Once you are done recording, the Sansa takes time trying to save the recorded files - it appears that it is freezing, but give it some time - it is just "thinking."

If the recorded files suddenly disappear, it is because the Sansa player has two modes - MSC mode and MTP mode. Files that appear in MTP mode will not appear in MSC mode and vice versa. If the recordings do not show up, go into your settings menu and switch the USB Mode.

if the power is interupted or improperly unplugged from the computer, the files may be corrupted... try to play the files and while playing move them to another folder... this may get your files back... else you will need to clear the recorder by pressing stop and erase at the same time for about 3 seconds.

The same thing happens to me when I try to record thru the "A/V in jack". It appears (my first thought) that the camera is trying to record to the internal drive and it runs out of memory really quick. But then, when I play it back, (the small 15 seconds or so) the audio and video are not sync'd. Most of the time at least. Very inconsistent. It also locked up and froze for me too. I had to remove the battery to reset it. Once or twice it recorded normal, (once when I reset the default settings and another time just out of the blue) - I thought I had it solved but it went back to "File Failed" after about 17-20 seconds of recording on the next record session.

I have the thing packed up ready to take back, but am looking for a solution so I can keep it..

the C770 Ultra Zoom has the ability to use cards larger than 512MB and Type M cards but only for still photos. I tried to use a 1GB card and Type M cards with the same problem "Picture Error". Large videos (over 30 seconds or so) or videos utilizing zoom inevitably caused extremely long time to write the file to the card or failed in the process. The camera is only rated for up to 512MB card from the factory. [email protected] if you have other questions...hope this helps

Afterwards when I attempted to play the files on the recorder it would not register the files as a track exsisting on the machine. huh? wuh happened?

MPEG4 motion video can be played back with Windows Media Player 6.4 or later. MPEG2 cannot be played back in Windows Media Player. Files created with our D-snap Video Cameras are designed for playback with the included MediaStage software and our DMR-E100H DVD Recorders.
