Figured out what happened on the way to the CLUCK meetingOn December 6 as I was on my way a CLUCK meeting I finally figured out how the pigs erased the video and didn't create a file sequence number.That was as I was riding the light rail from Tempe to Phoenix on my way to a CLUCK meeting by the Phoenix Library. My test photosHere are the initial photos I shot to figure it out. And here is a timestamped file with those initial photos.How the pigs deleted the videoA quick summery of what happened is the pigs didn't technically "erase the video".The pigs turned off the power, or more properlly removed the battery from my camera to stop the video from recording. The caused the computer in the camera to "crash" and not write the file to the SD card. It also prevented the computer in the camera from adding 1 to the sequence number to generate a file with the next sequence number. And that caused me to think that I FAILED TO HIT THE RECORD BUTTON. Testing my theory on what happenedTo test that theory I did this.
But the missing data should still be out there!!!!Now when the pigs turned off the power to my camera by removing the battery, and when I removed the power in the test case the data that was created by the video didn't magically disapper.That data is still on the SD chip. But the data is not assigned to any file. The sectors for that data is marked in the FAT as IN USE. But those sectors are not assigned to any filename in the TOC of the SD disk. So to recover the data and recreate it all I have to do is write a simple program like the MS/DOS CHKDSK program which goes out and analyizes the SD card and finds all the sectors in the FAT that are not used in any file name. After that BINGO, I have the data the pigs erased. The next step is to write a computer program which creates a file in the file directory and assigned all those "lost sectors" to a file name. Once I have done that I have recreated the file the pigs erased. And BINGO we can nail the *sses of those crooked pigs to the wall. I forgot about the photo I shot while handcuffedI forgot about that photo I shot while I was being handcuffed by Ariel Werther.

And that raises a lot of questions. What happens when you try to shoot a still, static photo while you are shooting a video??? Did I really hit the record button and start shooting the video??? I thought I did. So this requires another test.
Then do a second test where we turn off the power like I suspect the pigs did.
