Transcend Memory Card Verification

The card could be corrupted if you ejected it while the camera was still in the middle of writing to the card.

Yes Jon, i am aware of that and i haven't ejected the card at all until today. I learned early on the hard way because I had been doing it wrong in the beginning. Now i am extra careful to wait until my record light is completely off before ejecting the card. My concern was that i thought it was recording the last few days but i had nothing for those dates at all but yet,the record light was functioning normally giving a false sense of security. No beeps or errors either. I put in my other memory card and will try that one for awhile and see how that one behaves.

Was the red LED on the LCD screen blinking or solid during the times it was not recording?

Pretty sure it was solid.I know it was on for sure,but it is hard to see it very well when i'm driving due to where it's mounted and the bright Florida sun.

If the red dot on the LCD screen was solid, it wasn't recording. Blinking means it's recording.

in between learning about that issue and modifying your behavior did you do a full format to correct any errors on the card?

Yes I did reformat the card a few times. I am going to do as Jon suggested as soon as I have time.
 
To be safe, I'd format with this to reset the card:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/

Then do a full format in windows
(Not a quick one)

Then format in the camera again after that.

Eject the card and run h2wtest.exe
(Card needs to be empty)
It's available at https://streetguardian.info/support
When i use the program you told me to download to format the card, it ends up as exfat..not sure if this is ok? Then i go to full format in windows and my choices are NTFS or exfat..?? This is a 64 GB Card and I thought it needs to be fat32..? I had been using guiformat program prior to your message to get fat 32. I think i'm confused again.. How do i get fat32 using your method...?

format the card as exFAT using that formatting software, this will return it to as per original, when you're done format the card in the camera, the camera will set the card up FAT32
 
ok,will do that..thank you.
