Computer doesn't see videos on SD card, but Canon Vixia camera does?

[thegreywizard]

So I have a Canon Vixia & a 128gb Lexar Pro 633x 95 mb/s SDXC memory card for about 6 months now and everything worked perfect.

Record to the SD then transfer via special transfer cable to my computer.

The computer would always see & also "import video & pictures" automatically to my computer. I could also view the files by manually working through the drive files.

Now when I try the cable, import video & pics doesn't see any new videos or files at all. And when I manually go in and check, there is nothing in any files. And there's probably 100gb on there by now.

I can however see the files on a little chrome book I have when I plug just the card in and also still view them on the camera itself.

It just seems to be my computer all of a sudden.

I am running Win7 Pro 64

Any ideas on how to fix this problem? I do video for my computer so this is a major complication.

I also do not have a card reader installed on my computer. While I plan to have on in the near future, I don't have one now and need access to the files ASAP. And I also just want windows to work like it's supposed to.

Thanks.

Does the computer recognize you've plugged the camera into the USB port?

Yes it sees the camera every time right away, no problem.

The answer I have is a bit shitty, however, is there a solution in the manual? Unless if it ditches Win7 compatibility, there should be a solution in there (or recommended software/procedures). My best guess it is uses an UNIX-friendly file system which Win7 doesn't recognize (like "ext," unless I am forgetting something from my Win7 days).

No that doesn't make sense because it's worked in windows 7 since I've had it

Have you tried reformatting the camera card?
