Ok thank you, I will try that next time.

I bought the extreme 30mb/s. Doesn't this camera shoot over 35mb/s anyway?

Data rate and video bitrate are 2 different things.
HDV is about 25 Mbit/s (3.125 MB/s) almost as DV.
This should be around 5-6 if it is 45-50Mbit/s.

I got done a Wedding today and noticed that the Sandisk cards when swapping the cards were a tad warm. Towards the end of the event I used the Patriots and when swapping the 2 patriots I have left they were scorching hot. Very strange which brings me to my conclusion that these cards are not very tolerant to heat as the Sandisks. Probably the reason my first card died.

I am convinced that everyone should use at least the Extreme III from Sandisk. I still haven't seen the 3.7 fps/sec rate. The 30mb edition.

As soon as put in the 16gb I started to record random stuff outside and when I went to preview the file off the camera it said media error "cannot play file" or something like that. A couple of times it did record stuff but with HUGE glitches to the video and audio, rendering it usless. It would also stop recording without me pressing anything. I tested out the cam with taking multiple pics in a row to see if that would have any effect and it did. Multiple pics said "cannot view" . Perhaps it was just a faulty card, but it scared me big time. I'm shooting a wedding in a couple of days and cannot afford for this to happen. My primary is a EX1 so I'm safe.. No problems yet with the Sandisk.

I had the exact same thing happened to me with the patriot 16 gb card. I then bought a Sandisk class 10 extreme and haven't had any issues since then.

I bought two brand new class 16 patriot cards a few weeks ago. One didn't work at all and the other failed after about 15 clips, only one of which was viewable. I promptly returned both cards and got cheaper class 4 PNY's that are still flawless 500 clips later.
