I take the cards out of the cameras directly into the card readers, to avoid losing them. In both cameras, the card is inserted with the back facing me and in both card readers the card is also inserted the same way, therefore I never see which card is which.
So, due to this, recently I put the 64GB card in the AT11DA by mistake. I only noticed it when I was about to transfer the files to the HDD at the end of the day. There was no problem with the recordings, the files were all there and intact, but there was something different: the file sizes were much larger than on the 32GB card, despite the bit rate being the same.
Here's an example of a 5 min file recorded with each card in the same camera:
This is the info on both files:
If none of the factors that determine the file size was changed, why are the file sizes different? Does it have something to do with the size of the card? The mind boggles...
