Broken video management file/ recording failure

If the laptop has Windows 10 and you are trying to view videos with the default Windows media viewer, this is probably the problem. It is not very good at recognizing various video codecs, but does fairly good at audio ones. Try downloading VLC free viewer. It is no cost and works well.

Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Event Manager
Windows 10 in startup apps go to Administrative Tools / Event Manager
Right Click start menu click event Viewer
once there look to left and expand WIndows Logs Click on Applications and wait for them to load See my pictures i found an error then I clicked on it and it told me what app.
If you don't have event viewer turned on you won't get anything. Then just google turn on event viewer your OS = (winodws 10, Windows 8 etc. turn it on reboot once the error occurs it is recorded go to event viewer and see results.

here is the manual in pdf form.
I looked though it and it doesnt seem to have a solution. For this "video management file is broken." yet there are many people with this problem.
I would check to make sure you have updated the software since it is a harddrive camera

are you recording in the .3gp mode or .mp4? some phones hav these options as low/high quality...try recording in .3gp..this should work..

Unfortunately, this is a frustrating and widely reported issue. Apparantly the HP software is not compatible with Office.
If you have reinstalled the document viewer.msi file from your cd repeated times and you keep getting popups indicating its failure, you will need to uninstall the document viewer.
Here are the instrucitons, courtesy of Jasdev Singh:
">> If you have installed any all-in-one printer driver software then put the disc in
else follow Step 2:

Step 1:
>> Put the printer disc in and goto Setup folder and search for Document viewer folder.
You will find two files under that. Double click on DocumentViewer.msi and install that. if you right click you will get repair also.

Step 2:
>> if you dont have any disc then goto Control panel and select Add/Remove Program.
>> Remove DocumentViewer entry. "

If you can't uninstall from Add/Remove programs or don't find an entry for the document viewer there, go to this link and download the Windows Installer Clean Up utility Download, Install, and Run this application...
">> I am sure you can select DocumentViewer now and hit Remove button.

This will clear DocumentViewer from you computer."
Please also refer to this KB article for additional information about clearing your temp files, etc.

I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.
If I've managed to answer your question or solve a problem, please take a moment to kindly rate this post....thanks!

That's the folder for the Windows Photo Gallery program. Your own photos will be in "My Pictures", "Pictures", or wherever your photo software put them.

Hi G-DyBiec

If the video capture automatically stops capturing at approximately 18 minutes (17 minutes and 55 seconds), then most likely the drive that is being capture to, is formated using Microsoft's FAT32 file system. Microsoft's FAT32 file system has a maxium file size of 4 GigaBytes (4 GB), which equates to a DV video clip of nearly 18 minutes. (18 minutes = 1080 seconds, @ a data rate of 3.6 MB/sec is approximately 4GB). So for hard drives that are formatted using FAT32, this behavior is normal. This is not a limitation of Studio..

To see what file system your hard drive uses do the following:

1. Right click on the Start button and choose Explore
2. Under My Computer, locate and highlight the drive you are capturing to
3. Right click and select Properites
4. On the General tab, towards the top, it will say "File System". It will be listed as either FAT32 or NTFS.

There are a few solutions if your drives are formatted using FAT32:

1. Convert your FAT32 hard drive to NTFS *
2. If you can copy any important data from this drive to other drives, it may be faster to re-format the FAT32 drive using the NTFS file system. **
3. You can do multiple 18 minute captures and string them together in the Edit mode of Studio.
   • Since the first 18 minutes is already captured, rewind the camcorder or VCR to 5 - 10 seconds before the initial capture stopped (which can be edited out later in Studio).
   • Start a new capture to a new file name.
   • Repeat this process until all the desired video is captured from the tape.
   • After all the files have been captured, go to Edit and assemble the captured files from the Album to the timeline in the order you desire.

This is a manual method to workaround Microsoft's FAT32 file system and if this is too time intensive for your needs, then steps 1 and 2 above may be more suitable and should be considered.
* Note: If you need assistance with step 1 above, go to the Microsoft web site at http://www.microsoft.com/ and search on "convert FAT32 to NTFS".
** Note: If you need assistance with step 2 above, go to the Microsoft web site at http://www.microsoft.com/ and search on "how to format a drive in XP".

NOTE: Microsoft's NTFS file system is only supported on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista. NTFS support a file size of 4 TB (terra bytes), which is larger than any current consumer hard drive capacity, so if NTFS is used, the capture file size will only be limited by the size of the hard drive.

Ok i had the same problem, this is what i did I hooked up my camera to my pc via usb and wenyt into the cameras harddrive itself and noticed that one floder that i would click on said that it was corrupted that floders name is EXTMOV i made a new folder on my desktop named EXTMOV and remaned the Folder on the camera EXTMOV1 then dragged the new EXTMOV folder on the camera I got the same message that the video management file needed to be fixed went through the process and now the camera works!

I hope this helps...

Power cycle the unit. See if the works.

sounds like you need to "recover" the hard drive.

Only other option you can try is to reset the camera.
