# FPV Goggle DVR Not Recording? Common Fixes for Lost Footage

Losing flight footage due to a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) malfunction is incredibly frustrating. This guide covers the most common reasons why your FPV goggle’s DVR might fail and how to troubleshoot them.

## Common DVR Problems and Solutions

A corrupted SD card is the most frequent culprit, but other issues can also prevent your DVR from working correctly.

| Problem | Common Cause | Solution |
|————————|—————————————————-|——————————————————————————————————|
| `No SD Card` Error | SD card is not inserted, formatted, or is faulty. | Ensure the card is fully inserted. Format the card in the goggles (not on a PC). Try a new SD card. |
| `Corrupted Footage` | Improperly shutting down the goggles. | Always stop recording and power down the goggles properly. Use a high-quality, brand-name SD card. |
| `Recording Stops` | Low-quality or slow SD card. | Use a Class 10 or faster SD card. We recommend SanDisk Extreme or Samsung EVO cards. |
| `No Audio` | Goggle microphone is disabled or faulty. | Check the goggle settings to ensure the microphone is enabled. Not all goggles have audio recording. |
