I think a gigabyte per hour is the standard. Hopefully one of the video regulars can confirm that but I was told that in a video seminar i took a couple years ago.
I think the pros also recommend one card per shop so if there's a problem on the card, you don't lose all the shops.

Time to build a bigger bridge.
Most video shoppers are using 4 gb cards for short shops and 8 gb for longer shops. I advise never to put more than 2 shops on a card to limit problems in case a card fails. I assume you are talking video?

dspeaks,
How many gb to an hour depends a lot on the equipment specs. My PV-500 is about .715 gb to a half hour segment.

Thank you! I went to Best Buy and found an Ultra Plus 32GB card for 22.49 each. I got 2! They retail at 69.99 and are on sale in case anyone needs to get any extras. So, I guess this was the best time this could have happened. Kids!
Thank you all for your help!

Ultra Plus 32GB cards are currently as low as $10.64 at Amazon. If you have Amazon Prime, you can get free shipping and still pay only $16.08
The best news is that Best Buy will price-match Amazon, so print the price and go to Best Buy. Wakeyone - you can probably go back and get a refund at Best Buy.

I seem to recall the 32 GB cards have a higher failure rate on videos. While I will use 32 GB cards in my Nikon DSLR cameras, I never use more than an 8GB card in my PV500 for video. That translates into roughly 9 hours of video, and the extended battery only has a 7 hour life before needing to be recharged.

That may have been the case with the early 32 GB cards. There were some that you could stick into devices that did not know how to format them as 32 gb and they would attempt to format them at a lower capacity and corrupt them.
There is a tool made by HP that does a low level format and can restore a usb stick or memory card that is plugged card to it's full capacity even after it's corrupted. You may need to plug the card into an adapter to usb or into a microsd to sd card adapter and plug it directly into your laptop to have this utility work.
I swear by it and have used it to restore a card I had to force format an image to a lower capacity to re-flash firmware in an older device.
Take all your "broken" usb sticks and memory cards and run this little tool on them to low level format them back to what they really are: [download.cnet.com]
It is only 96K in size and must be run as administrator.
