Does anyone know what an .MDT file extension is ?

 

My Q locked up at the weekend so I pulled the battery, and then noticed I had a black image numbered  L1070001.MDT.

 

It wouldn't load into Lightroom, and the Q's delete function wouldn't allow deletion. It disappeared OK when I formatted,

A quick internet search reveals that .mdt files are video files generated by certain Panasonic G  models. That would make sense since the Q probably has bits of software from the Leica / Panasonic partnership. You may have been in video mode accidentally at some time so that may be a valid reason why your Q unexpectedly created the file or it may have been the result of a recovery feature during a system lock-up.  I might assume that Panasonic users are provided with software to view and edit these files.

Actually, we should have asked you if the sdcard had ever been used in a Panasonic camera. The file could have been a leftover from previous activity and the delete function on the Q would have ignored it's presence.

From Panasonic's website:

 

 

 

The damaged files cannot be opened because recording did terminate abruptly: While the media (video and audio) is present and not corrupt, the index and header of the movie indicating what the data means, is not present.

Repair consists in reindexing the movie.

A program like Divfix or VirtualDub should be able to do the reindexing.
