Time indicator is yellow then red then stopped recording T5i

Hey Guys,
The time indicator in my case is yellow up until the 7sec mark, then it turns red and usually it stops recording at the 20sec mark. I have two SD cards both are the same specs but different brands, this happens with one card and not the other is this a card issue or a ML issue?

Thanks

The difference between the cards probably reflects their speeds. You could benchmark them or use something like http://www.heise.de/download/h2testw.html.

Yellow and red just means the data is being written to the card more slowly than it is being created, so you can record for only a limited time before the buffer fills up. This is normal behavior. To get longer or continuous recording, use a faster card and/or reduce resolution, frame rate etc. to reduce the data flow rate.

Thanks Frank..I think Sony is being dishonest with their product...both cards are the same exact specs .. supposedly!
