Hi,
My recordings from today are coming up as corrupt on my pc. Any ideas what the problem may be? Is this a common problem?
Thanks
 
Try to re-format your SD card?
 
I've hear of this problem happening before when you turn off the drone without stop recording! Is this maybe your case?
 
No. I didn't do this.
tried a new card and seems to be working.
Seem to be having no end of probs
 
Sounds like your card got corrupted. Just re-format the old one and you should be good to go. If the Mavic software allows you to format it in the machine, better yet, although I'm not sure it has that option.

It does. Somewhere in the DJI app, there is buried a command for the Mavic to format its card. Works on anything up to 64 GB. May throw an error if the Mavic formats a 128GB or higher card itself.
 
Can I just format a new 64 gig card for a Mac. Will I be able to record does it matter if the card is formatted for a Mac or pic?
