Both cameras are using Sandisk Extreme CF cards (60mb/s), and the recording is just .H264 not RAW or ML RAW. I dont shoot with any auto functions at all, except perhaps Auto Int/Ext for the camera audio. All exposure and WB settings are manual. The file lengths are usually several minutes at least as the specific example ive linked was an interview situation.
I was thinking more about what DeafEyeJedi said and thought that i would add that one camera is approx. 4 years old and the other approx. 3 years old. I had shot for about 1 year on Canon firmware and had never seen this problem before. Similarly I then shot with ML for about 1.5 years before coming across this phenomenon.
By kind of eliminating a few different factors, I guess for the fault to occur on two different cameras of very different ages with different lenses attached, then other than the firmware could it possibly be the CF cards that are failing? The cards would be at least two years old by now. It just seems a freakish coincidence that two cards would be failing at the same time. The only real common element to the situation is the firmware.
