Oleg, I reformatted the drive so sda2 is raw. Now I'm trying to copy a recording from there. I'm not sure what you meant by: run https://git.elphel.com/Elphel/eyesis4pi-393-gui/blob/master/ footage_downloader/split_mov.php from inside the directory with image.bin
Also, when I use the 14MPx sensors with nand, the cameras don't always show up. Sometimes only one shows up or none of them do. Any ideas what might be wrong?
