    So 2 weeks ago I set out my camera. Empty 4 gb card. I checked it today. The card was full. There was only 4 ten second videos. I'm confused. I've been able to get a 100 vids out of a 2 gb card and the same cam. Any ideas what's wrong? It kinda makes me mad I waited 2 weeks for 40 secs of footage. Please help.

    I'd try formatting the card.

    Good luck!

    Def format the card. No other reason why it wouldn't of worked.

    On the plus, how good was the 40 seconds of video?

    What was the total file size of the 4 videos?

    If you put the card in a computer, how much used and available space does it show?
