Hi All
Wondering if anyone has any experience and help with this one please.
Previously running Sensation XE unbranded, Gingerbread 2.3.4
I used the stock video camera to capture some 720p videos, no problem.
Then last month, I went zorbing with the missus. Obviously I recorded the whole experience, or tried to.
On the first run the video camera froze when I tried to stop the recording, previously it looked like the camera was skipping to some extent. I hit the home button after the camera had been frozen on a frame with no activity for a minute or two and found I couldn't watch the video, I had a blank tile in the gallery that couldn't be played.
We had a second run and I tried again to the same result.
I've done some reading online and it appears that if the video is a long one (these files are 46Mb and ~90Mb each - other videos on the phone are significantly smaller) then the camera crashes due to the size. The corruption is caused by a failure to correctly index the files and build a trailer record (as I understand) however there doesn't seem to be any real advice as to how to resolve this, save for sending the file to some sweat shop in China for a fee. I've tried some of the software, the previews don't work so obviously I'm hesitatnt to pay for the full featured versions.
Has anyone had this themselves and more importantly, found a way around it? It's driving me nuts!
