Re: .mdt files in G7

A .mdt file is essentially an incomplete video file. It occurs when the recording was not properly ended, such as running out of power or removing the battery while the file was still being processed. For those old enough to remember DOS on early PC's, the .mdt file is functionally the same as .chk files.

I've also had it occur when the files on my SD card were heavily fragmented, the direct result of seldom reformatting the card in the camera.

Bottom line, its video data that you can't really do much with.
