Frank, I'm not sure of the details but I think that there may be some limit on the size of an individual file - not quite sure why but the figure of 2 GB comes to mind as a limit within the FAT32 system. Maybe someone out there can confirm this or otherwise.

So I copied the entire content of the 4 GB chip onto my hard drive and then back on to the new 16Gb card. It works great in my ptr1,, as does the other 16 Gb card that I am using. And it sure was great to hear the plextalk tell me that I now had 800 hours of unused recording time. By the way this ptr 1 has never been upgraded . It still has the original version of the firmware init. I expect that there is some maximum storage limit that can be utilized by the ptr 1 but its not 16 Gb. If someone knows what the limit is I hope they respond to the list. I would like to know before I find out the hard way.

If you want to be safe, stay with several 2 gig cards because I know they work.

What's the highest capacity CF card that the unit will take? I just want to be sure. Thanks.
