cannot read big file on sdhc card in camera

[Paolo Benvenuto]

I have a 1.5GB video on my 4GB sdhc card, and it's in the camera.

Connecting the camera to the pc via usb cable I get the "camera" mounted.

However, when I go to the card and see the video file, I cannot copy it anywhere: hitting ctl-c and then ctl-v in another directory I get a progress bar windows which lasts a long time saying "copying 0GB of 1.5GB", and it never copies it.

However, If I umount the camera and issue "gphoto2 -P", the file is downloaded without any problem.

Need info: What happens if you try to copy it from the terminal with cp -v?

Have a nice day! :)

Hello
This happens only with sdhc or with everythings ?
Right-click on this file, properties, permission, who is the owner ? have you got permission on this file ?
Thanks
Fabio

gphoto2://[usb:001,010] is the "position" of the camera in "gnome file system", I don't know how I can access it from the command line. So I don't know how I can copy it with cp.

From nautilus, looking for file permissions, it says "unable to determine file permissions".

If I umount the camera, gphoto2 -P downloads the file

from nautilus, double clicking on a 163MB file opens it with video player.

It happens with sdhc and with sd cards

I have this exact same problem. Trying to copy and paste a video file off of the card (which is in the camera) results in a progress bar that lasts a long time and it never copies.

When I try to copy the file from the command line I get:
cp -v 100_3676.MOV ~/Desktop/
`100_3676.MOV' -> `/home/robert/Desktop/100_3676.MOV'
cp: cannot open `100_3676.MOV' for reading: Input/output error

Using gphoto2 -P it downloads fine.

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.

I have noticed that two of the people, who have commented, report trying to copy video.
So I thought it might be helpful to note that I have the same problem, only it occurred for me while trying to copy audio (*.wav).

This occurs on a computer running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.

Copying through CLI gives input/output error,
copying through GUI gives splicing error,
resulting in corrupt files in the destination directory.
