FAQ
Does the CAM EYE SPORT V1.4 or v1.6 LANC remote work with the DR3?
Yes, both versions work OK. If you don't have a remote control, consider our CES2 LANC remote, which is fully compatible with the Cam Eye Sport/DR3 and is also waterproof.
How long does the internal battery last?
If fully charged, the internal battery will power the recorder and two bullet cameras for approx. 2 hours of recording. The battery will take approx. 6.5 hours to charge fully after being run down completely.
I accidentally turned off the DR3 while it was recording and now I can't open the video file on the card. Can I recover the file?
We have tested several software utilities capable of opening and re-saving corrupt AVI and MPG files.
We recommend you try these for yourself. Most have a trial version you can download to try before committing to buy. We cannot guarantee you will be able to recover a corrupt file if caused by powering off or removing the CF card during recording.
AVI file utilities:
ASF-AVI-RM-WMV Repair - www.repairvideo.com
VirtualDub - www.virtualdub.org
MPG file utilities:
VideoReDo Plus - www.videoredo.com
MPEG-VCR/Womble MPEG Editor - www.womble.com
I have set recording quality to 'UQ' but don't get any sound.
'UQ' quality mode uses the full processing power of the DR3 to record in native MPEG2 video at the highest quality possible, but no audio is recorded in this mode.
I want to import video from the DR3 into Final Cut Pro or AVID for editing, but the DR3 file type is not supported.
Apple's Final Cut Pro and AVID are non-linear editing systems which don't support generic video file types such as .AVI or MPEG2. It will be necessary to convert the DR3 files to .MOV (Quicktime) format using third party software first. We recommend the use of MPEG Streamclip (http://www.squared5.com) for MAC-based editors and River Past Video Cleaner (http://www.riverpast.com/en/prod/videocleaner/pro/) for PC-based editors.
Why do I get "Error - No Card!" when I try to record on a new Flashcard?
You must turn the DR3 off BEFORE inserting a compact flashcard or you will see this error when you try to record. This error may also occur with an incorrectly formatted card or one that's incompatible.
