I had a camera that was working well and then stopped recording to the card reliably. The manufacture said to format card in a computer and try again. It worked.
Why would the computer format fix a problem that the in camera format did not?

THe computer format was likely more thorough and better support the latest format for FAT32. Just a guess.

I've never, ever formatted any cards in any of my t-cams, and have never had any issues. I've even swapped a card from my camera and put into my t-cam and had no problems.
knock on wood I guess.

I haven't either and I've used all my 16gb cards in various Brownings and two Olympus VG-140 homebrewed trail cameras. Haven't tried the 32gb cards in the Olympus cameras since they only take videos during daylight.
