Activity Forums Sony Cameras 10.6 XDcam Trans works fine on MBP

  • 10.6 XDcam Trans works fine on MBP

    Posted by Olof Ekbergh on September 19, 2009 at 12:46 pm

    OK so I had some time to spare after a long trip.

    So I decided to try SnowLep and FCP7 with all the latest Sony drivers and Transfer App.

    I have read the forums and it seems people have very mixed results.

    This was on an upgrade install. I ran Cocktail and DW first as well as DU.

    I was surprised to find everything works great. Even the new M100 Suite 1.0.2

    I also have the MX02 on this MBP , I will test that later today.

    So far everything is very stable, thumbnails show up. No crashing on shutdown. Maybe I am just lucky or maybe being blessed by the TSA X-rays does the trick, and the french chicken bones of course.

    I was at one point keeping track of posts about the issue and the numbers looked to be about 50/50. To me that indicates a “conflict” of some sort, whether with the OS or some commonly used piece of software. I can’t but think this is a simple fix that Sony looks like they’re going to take months to deal with.

    If this would help anyone to figure out the conflict please use it.

    Even Toast 10 who got some preview bugs Roxio said it will release an update soon look at this :

    – Disc Image Mounter kernel extension
    – Toast Video Player overlays have corrupt graphics, doesn’t affect functionality
    – DVD-Video Preview for DVD 9-5 has black screen
    – CD Spin Doctor several issues, including kernel extension not installing/loading
    – Disc Cover RE 2 corrupt image preview and several other minor issues
    – Get Backup, mostly minor issues

    That’s the short list but mostly complete list of 10.6 specific issues, but a number of other items also fixed in the upcoming update including that annoying Might Mouse scroll button issue.

    Well for me Epson answer fast about Snow Leopard compatibility , Roxio also but not Sony.
    I depend on those apps and the only one who keep me on fuzzy sky is Sony ….

    Well guess what I just tried Transfer again on some footage I shot yesterday.

    And now I get the thumbnail error.

    You have to highlight each clip and then import, after stopping thumbnail task. I had 45 clips to transfer.

    It was a real pain.

    At one point I got 30 to transfer before error came back.

    I guess I am not so lucky after all.

    Thanks Olof for your update,

    Like Craig, I have been monitoring the SL posts and I too had been wondering about the 100% success rate. Shame really as M100 is good to go, now Bitvice is as well. So let’s trust that Sony will update sooner rather than later.

    Hoping that your workflow hsas not been hindered too much.

    Best wishes

    Sorry i did not want to do a double posting , is it a way to edit a post after sending it.

    I found a spelling error after sending the first post above and send the second one after correction.

    Please moderator remove the first one and this post who ask you to remove it after if possible.
