I record video and save directly to SD card (because my phone memory is exhausted). After filming is finished, I want to reopen it to see it but in the photo folder I don't see the video just recorded. In the memory card, I saw the video I just returned in the form of the file FSCKxxxx.REC. I clicked but my phone said it could not be opened or there was no software to open. I tried connecting the SD memory card to the computer but I couldn't open it either. I was really sad because I really liked those videos, so I was looking forward to someone showing me how to recover those video files. I remember during the recording, the phone automatically powered off once

Hi, recently for no particular reason, my Tytn 1 built-in camera stopped working when taking videos and saving onto the storage card. When i click rec, then stop, a black still picture is displayed (normally it would show the first frame of the captured video). Capturing video to internal memory card works fine. Taking still pictures and saving onto storage card also works fine.
Repeating the rec and stop-rec actions shows incrementing filename as though the videos are actually saved but checking in the \storage\my documents\my videos\ folder shows empty folder. All my previously captured videos were also gone.
Please help... has anyone faced this similar problem and how to fix it? Thanks.
so, I came across a problem with tcpmp a few weeks ago where the program wouldn't play video at a decent frame rate when installed to the phone storage.
which I find strange as I would have thought that running the program and reading the video from the same source would result in slow down its self!
so my question is, is the internal storage more slow than the memory card and if so could the storage of sms be moved to the sd card for speed improvements.
if this is the case then lots of other things could also be moved to the sd card!
your thoughts ?
hmmm
nobody interested in this?
I would hazard a guess that this is because the phone is running the player from the same source as the video is stored, so it can only access either the program, or the video file at any one time, not both together, so it accesses the system for a second, then the video, then the system, then the video,,, but if the video is on the card, it can access the system and the video at the same time.
that's the point
ill be more through
if the program is installed to the phone storage ie tcpmp installed to phone memory, then when you play a video it jogs! very low fps.
now if you installed the program to the memory card, which is where the video is stored also then its played a full fps
it is much much faster, so this either tells you the memory card can read files quicker than the phone storage or there is a problem with the phone storage talking to main memory.
that's my point! sms takes an age to load if you have more 20 message on the same thread. moving these messages to the storage card permanently may increase loading times of each thread.
try it your self with tcpmp you will get what I mean, the videos I'm using are dvd rips in avi format
Hi, I just wanted to let you guys know what I discovered today. Prior to having the HD2, I had a Vibrant, which had HD video capibility. I copied the DCIM folder back to the HD2 from the vibrant, which had some video files in it. It caused major problems. Freezes so bad that the phone was unusable. I am assuming that it is the HD video files, but I haven't copied the pictures back yet. I will follow up if I find that it was something else.
Without those files, Android seems to be running perfect on the 16GB class 2 card...can't wait till my class 10 card gets here tomorrow!!!!

It could be one specific picture or video that is causing the problem with your dcim folder.
possibly, but I removed the 6 HD videos, and copied all the pictures back to the SD, and everything seems to function fine now.
This has happened to me even on WM. All it takes is one corrupted file to bring your DCIM folder to a crawl. If it all of a sudden becomes sluggish, I always just delete the last few additions one by one till it speeds up.
DCIM files cause USB connection to drop
I'm sorry for the "it's happening to me too" post but.....
I store photos on my Samsung Galaxy Captivate internal SD card. Every time I connect to my PC via the USB cable browsing to the DCIM folder causes windows explorer to crash and the USB connection to disappear with the "media scanning" function to take place. Interestingly, the same thing happens if I store photos on the external SD card as well. So far I have tried:
formatting the internal and external SD cards
resetting the phone to factory settings
The problem remains, making the device unusable for transferring photos to a PC.
When it is connected in USB mode for othe rpurposes, there is no problem whatsoever in using windows explorer to browse to and open files in any folder (internal or external SD card) apart from the DCIM folder. After formatting, the DCIM folder can be opened (though it is of course empty) but taking a single photo results in JPG file in the folder that will then cause explorer to crash when trying to open or copy it.
I have Googled around but have not found a solution. I must emphasize, it only occurs with files in the DCIM folder. Any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks.

Sorry but a really noob question ..........
Where do I put music and video's so that the default app's find them?
I thought the SD card was 'external_SD' so that's where I put the music folders. But then, when I try to navigate to that on the phone, there's nothing in there. And also, when I open the music app' it doesn't show anything that I've added!!
So can you tell me where you put audio and video files please.
Sorry, I really show know this but it's not something I've done on any of my phones before!
Thanks in advance for you help.
SDCard : Internal Storage ,the 16Gb build in
External SD : The micro SD (T-Flash) you insert into phone
And inside Windows Explorer ,it should be two drives ,say ,Drive E and Drive F ,one is internal ,one is external
Hope this help
I think memory your looking at is the built in memory. I put some video files in the folder marked media and it found them ok. If you want to find the external memory you need to go to settings,wireless and network then usb utilities to connect tovpc. Thenn i just put all my music on there. Again it found them ok.

Right, I've done the music files. I've dumped them in the 'Music' folder in the above screenshot and it appears to have found them. The only annoying thing is that it's sorted each song alphabetically and not by track number!
Now I just need to work out where to put videos.
I also still can't see, from my screenshot of the folder structure above, where my SD card is. If it is that 'external_SD' then why aren't files showing when I explore it on the phone?
And does the Note not play .mov files? I've transferred some across but when trying to open them it states, "No applications can perform this action".

right click, create a folder in the "media" folder called "videos". put your videos in there
Hi all, noob to the s4. Was surprised when it didn't come with sd card. Read about the storage issues a bit. Wanted to put my music library in phone. Installed sd card- success. Camera recognized it, all pics go to the card. Loaded a metric ton of music on the card. Phone works great, all songs play just fine.
Now for the question- plugged the device to the pc for the first since installing the sd card. PC reads "phone" and "card" or something like that. Browse the card for the music files and only a fraction of the songs appear. More detail: My existing music library was mostly organized into artist folders, with a handful of song files not being in a folder. Well it is those songs that show up and only those songs, none of the couple hundred "folders" that have all the music. Weird or....
One last thing, and thanks in advance for your responses!
I am a picasa type of guy and that has always been my preferred viewer. When browsing existing phone camera photos on the pc, the thumbnails are really low res and the files only open with windows picture viewer. Any ideas why? Thanks again, I'm all ears.
