I've seen solutions to fix this problem when recording .RAW files, but not .MLV. I thought maybe the same technique would work (editing the footer in a hex editor), but no luck figuring out how to do so thus far.

My issue is this: I was recording several clips to a 64GB card. During the last clip, the card ran out of space and (obviously) stopped recording. That last clip was split into 10 files (M18-1239.MLV, M18-1239.M00 - M08). When I copied all of the files from the card to my computer, I noticed that they all had file sizes of zero bytes. It seems to me that there is nothing to recover, but I'm holding out hope that they file size is simply reading incorrectly due to whatever is causing the corruption.

So my question has two parts:

1) Is there anything for me to recover and, if so, how can I do so?
2) How can I prevent this from happening again? I thought there was some sort of buffer built in to ML that would stop recording and close a file before running out of space on the card. Is that not the case?

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.
