Problem with videofiles

[Yvan L]

I bought my Typhoon H+ shortly. Second hand, in mintstate. Had already 2h of flighttime, everything works great! A pleasure to fly with. BUT...
At home I took out the SD CARD of the cam, pluged it in a cardreader and copied the videofiles to my computer...

First I viewed the videofiles DIRECTLY from the SD CARD. NO PROBLEM AT ALL. So the RECORDINGS ON MY SD CARD ARE FINE. (See attached screenshots 3 & 4)

Then I copied these files to the hardisk on my computer and viewed them. LOTS OF DISTORTION! (Attached screenshots 1 & 2)

In both cases, I viewed them all in WINDOWS MEDIAPLAYER but also in some other videosoftware with the same result.
Copied them over again, used another cardreader etc... Same result.

Has anyone an idea what the cause of this problem is please?

I have experienced strange changes to the video quality from some card readers. When I bought a better quality reader all of those problems disappeared.

Previously you showed your card as a Lexar 256 GB U3 card. The only Lexar cards I own were discovered to be fake copies after they failed. It seems Lexar is one of the favorite brands for pirates. There are also some brands that Yuneec cameras seem to dislike. Samsung, for instance, often causes problems.

I generally only use 32 or 64 GB cards. Occasionally a card fails. Less expensive cards are easier to keep on hand. There is no advantage to having high capacity cards in a C23. Following a flight I copy the contents to the computer and then format the card for the next flight. This is preferable to deleting the cards files. Deleting, over time, can result in fragmentation. Formatting avoids that issue.

The problem is still occuring. Maybe a reset of my C23cam can help? Will a reset delete the firmware???

If the files are good on the SD card then there is no problem with the C23. The issues you are describing sound more like a problem with your computer.

Final post: All videofiles are ok. This problem is solved. The issue where bad sectors on the used harddrive of my computer.
This had nothing to do with the TYPHOON H+. Thank you all for trying to help.
