Cannot find R3d files on CF-Card

[Clemens Kemper]

Hi Guys,

first of all Hello to everyone, for I am new to the Reduser forum and a new REDuser. I've been around silently reading for a while, but now I am stuck with a stupid problem and have to ask you guys.

I recorded some material with audio on an freshly formatted 8 GB RED card. I shutdown the camera and put the card into my trusted $5 Cf-card reader.

For I am a PC user, Windows tells me that there are 670Mb used on the CF card, but I don't see the *.r3d files.

All I see are two folders (A012_10022C.RDM, DCIM) and two 1kb files (digital.magazine.profile, digital.magdynamic.profile) on the flash drive. What the heck am I doing wrong? Windows tells me that there are 0 files in the A012.RDM folder and that it contains 0 bytes. If there was a failure while recording, why do I have 670 MB used on the card.

I know I am doing something very stupidly wrong but I just can't figure out what the f to do here.

Kindest
Clemens

If you put the CF card back in the camera, are you able to view the recording on your EVF or LCD using the transport buttons above the rear body LCD display?

If not, try RedUndead file recovery utility downloadable from the RED.com website on the Support page.

Well, it seemed like the files were really gone altogether. The camera couldn't find anything at all.

I guess I forgot to properly unmount the storage device.
Lesson learned though, won't happen again.

thanks anyway :001_cool:

As the previous poster said, do give Redundead a try - it might very well be able to recuperate you footage.

P.S: Grüße an das geliebte Berlin!
