I had copy 2 avi, one is 21mb the other is 11mb, which I can see the file on my x50v, but when i use a card reader to copy a 708mb avi file, i can see the file on my desktop. when i plug the card into the pda, it won't show the 708mb avi file, does anyone had any idea why

are you sure the file is the same type as the others ? is it a divx or mpeg or wmv or what ever are you using the right program to view it with ? wmp will only see wmv files you need tcpmp to play anything else

had the sd card in the pda overnight, this morning I turn on the pda the file is shown on the pda. Is it because the file is 708 mb, the pda need time to read the whole file befor it's display on the pda. At least it's working now. wonder if anyone had the same experience.

did you use active stink to transfer 700megs that will take all day on a slow pc use a card reader it will take far less time to transfer

axzilla: no ActiveStink; he says card reader.

dragonwen: some card readers require to be "unmounted" before they will flush the content of the last write operation to the card.

Windows 2k, XP: If you happen to have such a card reader you need to "stop" the card reader device before unplugging it from the USB port. For that, find an icon that looks like a green arrow - pointing down left - hovering over a small grey surface. When the mouse is moved over that icon and held stationary for a while a tooltip "Safely Remove Hardware" will appear. A left click on the icon will bring up a menu which allows to safely unplug that piece of hardware. Sic.
Good multi-format card readers like the SanDisk ImageMate series do not require any of this. Thumb Stick-like SD-only card readers often do.

Dragonwen,

Hey there seems to be a common problem with the brand sandisk SD cards, which i wish i knew before i bought mine last week. There is a fix for it found on this thread. Its now also posted on the main page called RescuePRO. Goodluck.
