Title: When to Update my Release
Post by: User7395056 on December 29, 2013, 07:54:31 PM

Hi Guys,

I have a build from several months ago, I am having problems recording clips longer than 1 minute with Lexar 1000x cards.  This was not always the problem, but for some reason, it's not working anymore.  I don't know how to check what build I am on, should I update my nightly build version?

Thanks!

Debug -> Benchmarks -> Card R/W benchmark (5 min) or Memory benchmark (1 min)
will give detailed build info.

Is it recommended to update my nightly build?  I am on ML v2.3.NEXT.2013Aug22.5D3113


If so, which one should I use?

Thank you.  I will look into it.  Also, I have searched the forum to try to find out why I'm getting "Movie Stopped Automatically" error, but I can't find anything that really suggests what I should look into.  Can you recommend a post or thread?

My write speed seems to be around 80 so maybe my 1000X cards don't have enough punch?

It's stopping on dropped frames.  I updated the build to the current release, WOW!  You guys have come a long way.  Thank you.  I still get the drop frame issue, but I'm sure it's the write speed on my card.  I tried the allow drop frame function, but it's a can of worms for sure.   All issues resolved  thank you.
