HVX200 Log & Transfer Taking Awhile
I just imported about 300GB worth of clips into Log and Transfer, and thought it would rapidly make available to Final Cut, but it seems to be taking awhile to convert them to Quicktime. But I thought Quicktime was just a rewrap of the DVCPRO HD data?
Maybe I haven’t done something correctly.
Told Easy Setup that it was Panasonic DVCPRO HD at 720P/30frame. Besides setting the scratch disk to my RAID array, this was the only setting I changed. Anything overlooked? It has been running about five minutes and gone through I think 2 or three clips. Maybe it just really takes this long….
THANKS!

It seems to be moving through them….I guess everything good as long as FCP isn’t downgrading the quality on the clips. I read that it just rewraps them and leaves them full rez DVCPRO HD. *fingers crossed*

It is COPYING them from their current location to your Media drive, and wrapping them in a QT wrapper. Generally this takes about 1min per GB. But if you have ONE firewire bus and you are going FW drive to FW drive, this takes longer as you are using ONE BUS to do this, even though you have two ports.

Thanks Shane – I’m going from one internal drive to another so at least I don’t have the bus slow down. As long as it isn’t tweaking the quality of the footage I’m good. I’ve never brought MXF into MOV before. =)
