Cant copy the clips from my Transcend 32 GB 400x CF card.

Dear Anthony,

It means the nanoFlash is unable to read from the CompactFlash card, using DMA (UDMA), which is required.

Have you tried another CompactFlash card?

Can you read the footage on your CompactFlash card using our supplied card reader?

Hi Dan, no, the supplied card reader dosent read the card. Looks like its a faulty CF card, just as well I was recording to my SxS cards too.

Thanks.

Dear Anthony,

I am sorry to hear that the card died.

Is it one of our approved CompactFlash cards?

Since the card does not appear to be working at all, we may not be able to recover your footage, but we can try if you wish.

Hi Dan, it was a Transcend 32 GB 400x CF card, thanks for the kind offer but I was able to use the clips from my SxS card, so all is well.

Thank you.
