Just a small point of order... It's not necessarily a bug, unless they advertise this feature. If it just happened to work before, and now just doesn't, that is too bad.
Not that I'm trying to stick up for these guys, but there is a lot of verbiage flying around and we gots to be careful what we says.

If the second button push had no effect and when it finished writing the first file it just stopped, then I could accept it as simply a change. But when it looks like it's recording and then you find out it wasn't, then I think we can safely call it a bug...
If only m-audio would have a single person with a clue spend 8 hours testing these reseases, they would be a lot better. This is just pathetic.
Well... check out my experience with m-audio UK tech "support":
Sent a message via the website describing what happened, and got an email back from a UK Tech Support person saying that there was probably a quick solution and to phone tech support. So I phone and start talking about the email... and the bloke on the other end asks me to forward my original message to him! I said "But you're tech support - surely you already have it??" He got a little annoyed then, saying that of course if he had it he wouldn't be asking for it, and never got to see messages sent to the website. But said he would send it on to the USA for them to check out. So now just waiting to see if I get any further response.
But the question I still have is - when the MT is recording the phantom file, is anything actually being written to the card? Is there anything to salvage or should I just give up and reformat? I've not managed to recover anything off the card I recreated the problem on...
I can possibly try and recover these shows (if they are good/important) but I'd need the entire contents of the CF card copied to a dvd. It would involve searching for the WAVE header in the raw data or just examining the raw data, etc.
Thanks for the offer (if also directed at me), but see above - need to find out if there's anything to recover...
