Failure modes
The causes of failure reported by ContourHD users needing to repair files are:- Battery dead during recording
- Loss of power due to intense vibrations during recording
- Destruction of camera during recording
Repairability
The damaged files cannot be opened because recording did terminate abruptly: While the media (video and audio) is present and not corrupt, the index and header of the movie indicating what the data means, is not present. Repair consists in reindexing the movie.
Due to recording mechanism, last seconds of action may not have been recorded.
PRICING
