Cannot edit PDR file
I can copy a PDR file ONCE. After that if I try to move or copy the file, there's an error message "move failed. file can not be modified"
I just want to snip 1 1/2 minutes out of a 1/2 hr video. Tried 4 different editing programs so far and in every case there is an error message.
Anyone with more experience than me managed to edit a PDR file?

Sorry I forgot.
Chromebook. Plays the files fine. I can copy a file once and then it's somehow locked. It's like it has some kind of protection that prevents further copying or editing.
The fact that I've tried four different editors, all giving error messages, suggests this might be the case.
It's a very simple thing I want to do and it's proving very difficult.
I'd be interested in hearing from someone who has first-hand experience with a C8 file.

How are you editing your file?
If you place your SD Card in the CB, and watch or try to edit it. it will edit from the SD Card,
If you "SAVE" the PDR files on your chromebook and then remove the SD Card, CB won't be able to
edit the file because it can't find it.
Saving on CB only saves the name and location, not the complete file.
To edit back on CB, place the SD card back in CB and try to edit then.
If you save it to the "Cloud" you should be able to edit as you chose, providing your software (APPs) can edit the format
If you save the file to Dropbox, PM me and let me know what parts you want to save, and I can edit it and drop it back to you.
I edit my drone videos in 4K, as I built a computer espicially for video editing.
I use PP and Davinc Resolve
