Cannot view videos I've taken on my camera

Just trying to help, but it's getting confusing.
I've always had to run videos, taken with one of our cameras, through a converter program, to be able to view them on our tablets.

I use VLC to do that, but it seems to be all good now. Also, lunatic59, I use Google photos which automatically backs up the photos, so yay 😛
 
This is what it looks like now:

I don't know why they seem to not actually have all the GB they say they do, I mean it's fine, but it says it has 9 GB more than it actually does. And with the 64 GB one, it's capacity is 59.something, so yeah. But it's much better than 23 or something! Yay!
 
Ummm, I put my 64 GB SD card in to make sure it didn't have any files I didn't want to lose on it so I could format it in the camera, then put my 128 GB one back in (it has a bunch of stuff on it now), and for some reason it says 'corrupted'! I really hope not... It says tap to fix even though it's gonna format it... Why did this happen?!
 
Ok, I took it out and put it back in, now it seems fine. What made this happen? I don't want it to actually get corrupted in the future...
 
Also, should I leave the SD card out of the camera when not in use?
 
In the manual it says 'put memory card in sleeve when not in use', I don't know what sleeve it's talking about...
 
Ugh this is so annoying that I can't edit my posts, I didn't mean to say 'I told you', that made it sound mean! I just wanted to say 'like I said' or something, sorry ☹️

Hey you buddy! :)

Lol why can't you edit your own posts?

Haha lol that is really really strange!

Whoa why did you get put on probation as well?

But you seem so friendly to me lol :)

But to get back on topic like the other guys have said that some devices can only support certain sizes of SD cards.

But I wonder if there is a way to try and get an SD card that is not supported and format it in a way that the device can possibly read it?

But don't always listen to people saying that cheap stuff out of China is no good because my 2nd hand Macbook pro cost 600 $ and it can't even ****ing download and install it's operating system like on apple' web site claims and it seems millions of people have got this same problem!

There are tons of YouTube videos of people asking for a solution but the expensive device can't even do what cheap ass 100$ windows tablets can.

So sometimes it's not always true that cheap stuff is inferior.

But yes where there is a will there is a way! Maybe you can get your camera to read it without having to buy a new sd card.

I am sure there are other people on the interwebs that have found a way with a similar scenario to the one you are experiencing.

Where there is a will there is a way!

Interesting question by the way interesting to see what happens or the solution :)
 
I'm going to use my 64 GB one with the camera and then put it in my tablet, move the pictures and or videos to my tablet's insternal storage, then take out the card, out in the 128 GB one, and move them from internal storage to the 128 GB SD card.
 
I'm pretty sure I can't edit posts because I'm on probation. I don't understand how that has anything to do with it, but whatever.
 
Now there's a problem, I only have about 4 GB left on internal storage all the time, and I can't delete much because there's not much to delete, system is using up a whole 8 GB. I might move them to the computer instead...
