Hi guys
Problem outlined below
(computer – windows 7 professional – everything up to date. All latest firmware updates also uploaded to the phantom)
I bought the phantom 2 vision plus two weeks ago. Anyway took my first video and as I did not have a card reader (I have one on order but as of writing this I still have not had it) I hooked the phantom up to my computer. Trying to transfer the video clip (no problem at all with the photos) crashed my computer multiple times so I gave up and just thought it was a glitch. I took some more videos a week later (bad weather so no flying during the week) and this time because I’m using the DJI vision app on my iPad air I synched the phots via Wi-Fi from the micro SD card that came with the phantom to my iPad air. Again this was no problem. I could view the photos and the videos but because of the barrel distortion I needed to clean them up so I need to transfer them to my pc. I hooked the iPad air up to the pc but again trying to transfer the video files (MP4 format) it crashed my computer. The other option was to upload the videos to Dropbox. I eventually managed to transfer the videos to Dropbox but this took all night (size of video files in total around 300mb) and when I got up in the morning the dreaded BSOD (blue screen of Death) appeared on my computer. I rebooted, checked Dropbox, and found that the files had been uploaded, bar 1 file. It then took me some 10 hours to download them. When I eventually did I converted the MP4 to both avi and mpv format. The videos in avi format were badly pixilated so basically unwatchable. However in mkv format they were fine. The saga continues. I them tried to delete the MP4 files from my computer which again caused multiple crashes. After banging my head I stopped windows explorer and entered DOS mode from the command prompt. From here I eventually managed to delete them.
I could not watch the MP4 files at all on my pc with any of my video players
Some questions
1. Has anyone else suffered from this?
2. I’m thinking the same thing is going to happen when I get the card reader?
I can only think it is a codec problem (?) or they might be some DRM stopping me from copying the files though I do not see why this should be.
The obvious way forward is to
1. Try another card (which I do not have at the moment)
2. Try my new card reader which again as of writing this I do not have.
Anyone have any ideas
any help appreciated
thanks
