photo cannot download from camera files bigger than 2 GB

[Paolo Benvenuto]

Binary package hint: gphoto2

I have a 2,1GB video file (AVI) on my camera's card.

I connect the camera to the pc with the usb cable, and then I issue:

$ gphoto2 -P

gphoto correctly begins downloading the file, but when it arrives to exactly 2GB (2147483648 bytes) the download stops, and gphoto says it encounters an error.

My pc is able to import the file if I put it in a card reader. The problem is with gphoto.

When gphoto stops downloading, it deletes the file it was downloading.

[Lenin (gagarin)]

have you tried the newer version of gphoto2 (natty) yet?

[Paolo Benvenuto (donpaolo)]

I'm going to try it when natty is released
