Recording on Xpl3000

[montell]

Hello everyone,

Every time I press the "red" button to record, it starts but stops after few seconds while I had set the recorder timer for 30 minutes or so ?!! why is that?
So, please tell me what's the best way or approach to start recording on Xpl3000?

Thank you very much,

that sounds like maybe you are recording to a drive that has errors.
Have you formatted the drive ?
Is this with an external drive?

ooops, sorry yes, I am recording onto an external hard drive , but it used to work ok but not now ?!

plug external hard drive into your PC or laptop.. then right click on it and open Properties. then the Tools tab and then Error Checking.. click it to check for errors.. it probably will not find any but thats ok... then retry that drive again for results

this process will not erase or mess with content on the drive.

if you re-format that drive, all content will be erased. So save that content on laptop before formatting.

FAT32 or exFAT should be what you want.
Formatting to NTFS will not work for recording from android

you can play NTFS formatted drive on an android, thru a media player like VLC... but recording onto drive and playback from that drive on an android and to an android needs to be FAT formatted (or something like that)

Just thought I prolly should add that

You could have two drives, one as FAT and one as NTFS... then transfer between the two..... When you transfer one file from a NTFS formatted drive to a FAT drive it will be okay and become part of the FAT family on that drive, if not then you need to do that Check Errors thing and then it will work.
