I get that msg frequently. Almost always just after I boot the camera and push record. I just push it again and it rolls fine. So far, its never happened during a take. Unless it's getting in the way of your video-making, I wouldn't worry too much!

BTW, I use the cheapest class 6 cards I can find. Seems fine apart from this very small inconvenience.

I feel that way as well... of course, I'm not paying SAG rates on most shoots. When I do, I pony up the expensive cards.

happened to me
 

This happened to me just yesterday for the first time. The problem, in my case, was that I switched from jpeg to RAW accidently. I use a lot of manual lenses so I take a snapshot in movie mode before I shoot video to make sure settings are what I want. Apparently, shooting RAW (snapshot) then immediatly pressing record for video is more than my Transcend 16gig class 10 could handle.

I got that message once on a Delkin 32gig and it killed all the footage. Threw that card on the shelf with a big "X" on it and never saw that message again whether 32gig, 16gig, Delkin or Sandisk. Convinced that was a bad card issue.
I think you're asking for trouble if you continue getting that message on the same card.

We were having that same problem and it appears to be the recording bit-rate that is screwing up the shooting; change to a slower speed might help...good luck---

I'm surprised no one has mentioned formatting the card. I format after each time I transfer the footage and put the card back into the camera, or if I move the card from the 60D to the 5D lll. I only used Hoodman and SanDisk cards. No problems.

Re: T2i recording has "been stopped automatically"
 

correct; the error can and will happen to any card if formatted on a PC with different specs from internal formatting, and also especially if not formatted (low level) in camera with magic lantern. it wont ALWAYS happen, but it will NOT happen if formatted in camera, then ML is reapplied. pain, but works. i use all SanDisk Class 10 8GB's.

Re: T2i recording has "been stopped automatically"
 

I just started using my 60D and learned today that it also stops after 12 minutes no matter what card I use. Is this just the limit for these cameras?
Thanks

in HD yes, about 12 minutes.
