I need help repairing a video file. The other day during a professional shoot, my new GH5 froze up when I hit the record button to stop recording at the end of a 23-minute (!!!) interview take. Even after flipping the power-off switch, the camera stayed on and frozen. I had to remove the battery pack. Now I have an unreadable/unfinished .mdt file that can't be read or played back. Has anyone run into this before?

I'm also wondering how I can prevent this from happening again. I was shooting 4K 10-bit 23.976fps using a Lexar U3 150 mb/s SD card with 128GB of storage (I had used 122gb by the end of the take, and had a few gigs to spare.) I was also using a 3rd party battery by Newmowa, but it had plenty of charge remaining.

Thanks for reading! Any leads at all would be hugely appreciated.

]]> Corrupt AVCHD Video Clip not able to copy on HDD http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/7560/corrupt-avchd-video-clip-not-able-to-copy-on-hdd Fri, 19 Jul 2013 08:57:23 +0000 Bara 7560@/talks/discussions Hey guys,

I've shooted recently a 5 minutes Video using "12/15 GOP 'DREWnet' " on my gh2. As soon as I try to copy the file from the SD to my HDD, it freezes at a certain point. I am able to playback the video on the sd card, and I discovered that at the middle of the Video VLC freezes and crashes, therefore one frame must be damaged. I've tried several things (I am on Windows 7):

run chsdsk /r on the sd card (its freezes too), mpeg sptreamclip (can not open it), convert the footage in premiere and After effects, but while converting the programs crash (no respond), I tried to run testdisk (but as I did not delete the file, it didnt recover it), transcoding with 5DtoRGB freezes at the exact spot where VLC crashed, Converting with Adobe media converter also failed, Virtual Dub doesnt open it.

Is there any chance to copy the files at least as chunks? The file is 3,6 GB big

]]> Collimating anamorphic lenses, m43 body request http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/3070/collimating-anamorphic-lenses-m43-body-request Tue, 01 May 2012 15:20:05 +0000 shane 3070@/talks/discussions I am hoping to ship one to Olexandr of Olex Camera Services in Ukraine so that he has a body to use for more accurate anamorphic lens collimation for my GH2 -- and all anamorphic lenses to be used on GH2s in the future! I have been speaking to him and he doesn't need a working model, just something to help him calibrate more accurately.

Can I give some money to someone to ship their dead/damaged/non-functioning GH2 to him?
