Canon 60D Stops Recording Automatically!!!

<< < (2/4) > >>

Rokkor 58mm 1.2:
I'm using a Transcend 32GB class 10 SDHC card in my 60D. I have experienced the same problem with the buffer filling up and the recording of video automatically stopping. When this last happened I had used only 6.1 GB of the card. After downloading the images to my PC, I reformatted the card. High level not low. After this the problem went away, and I was able to record normally. Obviously, this has something to do with the 60D's ability to clear out the buffer on to the card when more than a certain amount of the cards capacity is used. Maybe it's a fragmentation issue like on a PC's hard drive. I think the format of the SD cards is the same or similar to Windows/DOS formatting. I do mix stills and video on the same card, mostly stills. I don't know if that's an issue or not. Anyway, reformatting is not a great fix but it does seem to work for awhile. Maybe a different grade of SD card would work.

More expensive sd cards are definitely better, the rating is partly just marketing. See the reviews - esp. if the cards fills up write speed goes down. However, as I wrote above tuning the bitrate seems like a better because free approach to me - you won't see the effect of a little less bitrate, esp. if you use ml's vbr setting, but sticking a top-grade 32gb sd card in a 60d seems somewhat unbalanced to me unless you really need it.

I use Sandisk Extreme class 10 16GB cards in my 60D and have no problem with video.

You did not mention what card you have, or where you bought it.  Counterfit cards are very prevalent, look the same and only a expert can tell.  Order a quality class 10 card like lexar or sandisk from B&H or Adorama, and you will get the real thing.
 
Buy from Amazon, only if its actually sold by Amazon.  Even then, their buyers may not be very knowledgable about counterfits, but they likely buy direct from the manufacturers, so they are OK.
 
I'd never trust any card sold on ebay.

Thanks all.  I will first try to order another card maybe two 16gb or just one 32gb class 10 extreme from SanDisk.

Also, I will search for a tutorial on how to change VBR in ML.

Best,

Jason
