Just discovered why Avata 2 videos and photos aren't being seen by image/video editors and similar apps when you connect either the drone directly via usb, or take its microSD card out and put it in a reader. This is a regression from old Avata (and from any other DJI drone or action cam as far as I know) and needs to be fixed in aircraft firmware update.
There's this standard called DCF (Design rule for Camera File system - JEITA CP-3461) which strictly defines in its specification the subfolder and file naming scheme of items inside DCIM folder so that software (including DJI-recommended LightCut) and hardware using the standard knows it's a card with camera media and can load it automatically.
Anyway, the structure needs to be like this:
DCIM
--XXXAAAAA (where XXX is a number between 100 and 999)
----AAAAYYYY.MP4 (where YYYY is a number between 0001 and 9999)
(A's are either uppercase alphanumeric characters or underscores in both cases)
...
Instead, Avata 2's file system structure is like this:
DCIM
--DJI_001 (wrong, should be something like "100MEDIA" just like old Avata or Goggles use, or could be "100_DJI_" or even "100AVATA")
----DJI_20240429000106_0001_D.MP4 (wrong, should be something like "DJI_0001.MP4", again, like with old Avata. Goggles use "DJIG0001.MP4" and that is also fine)
...
DJI representatives, please forward this to your technical staff and tell them to read DCF standard specifications and/or to revert filesystem naming structure to the way it was on old Avata. Thank you.
And thanks to user airmark1 who made me finally investigate this. See their thread listing this issue as one of two issues they have with importing media from Avata 2: https://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=311638 (and help them out with their second issue of QuickTransfer not working is possible)
