First of all, the BEST place to format an SD card is in the camera device that is going to be using it. Formatting in a PC, or worse, a Mac, is more likely to give you troubles. Secondly, formatting is not a complex procedure technically, and there is little that can go wrong. The problem in formatting in any kind of computer is that it usually gives you a choice of formatting options, and the user may select the wrong option, whereas the camera (or drone) knows EXACTLY which options it needs, and will do it properly.
Files not recognised by Windows 10 - par for the course. And iOS is no better. Window still has not caught up with H265, so it still does not handle these files properly.
Geebax,
Thanks for your input but, unfortunately, it is not it.
I did format my card in MA2, not in PC. I always do it this way. For the same reasons you mentioned.
I always transfer files from SD card inserted into the PC reader, not transferring from MA2 to mobile.
The reason why I attempted the AC->mobile transfer was that my PC suddenly stopped recognizing my SD card and wanted to format it while I could still play my videos from the card when card was insterted to AC.
Hence my workaround - attempt to recover files from AC by downloading to mobile (and than to PC), Which, as I explained, did not work since DJI does not support H.265 download.
My reader may be at fault - I will certainly check that (although it did work just fine with this SD card). However, when I connect my MA2 directly to PC via USB, I get exactly the same message - my PC suggests that card is not formatted and asks me if I want to format it. Which means that both the PC reader which I was using, and connecting AC to PC via USB does not work. Which leads me to believe that it is not reader after all but the card may have been corrupted and my files need recovery using one of the third-party recovery tools.
The only thing which is interesting in this scenario, is that MA2 still recognizes the videos and can play them (when I connect AC to RC and RC to mobile, I can click play button in Camera View of DJI FLy, see all my videos, and play them successfully). But how can I transfer them to PC?
