Issue With Gopro Recording

[MIcruiser]

Some files are 30 minutes long per file.. True that you won't lose everything should something f-ck-up. No big deal anyway, if I wanted to gripe I would gripe that the file names aren't in order, you have to scroll to the bottom for part two and then up again for the next non-sequence file.

i.e.-
GOPRO0001
GOPRO0002
GOPRO0003
GOPRO0004
GOPR0001
GOPR0003

this is more annoying than having multiple files, to me, anyway.

Mine (HERO3 White) names them a little differently.
First record button hit:
GOP0058
GOP10058
GOP20058
GOP30058
Second record button hit:
GOP0059
GOP10059
GOP20059
GOP30059

Last number changes between recording sessions, adds a sequential number to the beginning of the number set for the file breaks during a recording session.

Sort by date. =) Only works if the files aren't modified though.

Anyone else have issues when recording for extrended periods of time, the camera takes a 30 minute video and breaks it into two seperate clips. Example: I shot for 42 minutes the other day. When i go into my sd card I have three seperate clips of 14:59, 14:59 and 12 minutes roughly. Why does the camera always create another clip past 14:59????

As other posters have mentioned, it's a recovery design so that in the incident a file becomes corrupt or damaged from whatever the cause may be (water, broken camera, etc.). I didn't understand it at first when i got my gopro session, but it has made it possible to eliminate segments of the video if there is nothing noteworth during editing as well. Hope this helps

Yeah it's something like that (I didn't check the actual file name sequences) still it skips up and down when sorted by file name. Yes you can sort by date but the default is by file name and that's what I prefer too. Sorting by date in FCPX is also useless, they don't sort in sequence because all the files are the same date. LoL.

Damn you GoPro why couldn't you just append the numbers at the end or something!
