Another issue with Log and Transfer
Hey Guys- I shot some footage yesterday with an HVX200. Since I rented the gear, I had to transfer media off the cards on the fly. I also rented a P2 Store to interface between the P2 card and my laptop. I plugged the P2 Store into my MacBook Pro and just dragged and dropped the folders on the card onto an external HD. Now I have that HD back at my work station, I am trying to log and transfer all the clips, but I just get an icon that has a “stop-sign” with an exclamation point in it. This doesn’t look to good for me. Any thoughts as to what this might be, and why it’s happening?
here’s a screen shot. when i right-click on the icon, it says “Retry” and “Remove”

That worked. Perfect! Thanks!

Well, it kind of worked. It worked for some of the files, but not all. The ones that it isn’t working with all have “(Spanned)” at the end of them. I have been doing some reading online, and most of the things I have been reading say that it means the footage was shot over two cards. But this was not the case. I shot until one card filled up, stopped the camera, swapped cards, re-formatted the new card and began shoot again. While the new card was shooting, I was copying the files over from the P2 Card to the Ext HD via a P2 Store and MacBook Pro. Any thoughts?

Spanned doesn’t mean that it necessarily crossed cards, it could mean that it crossed partitions. Do you have all of your cards from the shoot loaded up in the log and transfer window?

Yes

Did you try adding them to the queue again? Sometimes it takes twice.

Yes, I’ve tried all the clips multiple times

The whole shoot was about 4 hours long. The only clips that seem to be working are the ones that were done handheld, where i was constantly hitting the record button on and off. The shots that just sat to capture the talking heads for 17 minutes at a time are the ones that seem to not be working. (They’re also, the most important clips.)

You might have some corrupt data somewhere. If you can, try and copy the clip back to a card and use the repair clip function in the camera.
P2 Log Pro will also repair clips on your HD and you can download a demo to see if it will work for you:

I got a demo copy of P2 Log Pro, but that didn’t seem to work either. Getting the cards and camera again aren’t really an option, (maybe an absolute last resort) as they were rented. I burned up my budget for gear the day I rented them. Soooo…. i have been banging my head on my desk for the last couple of days until I finally found a solution. It turns out they will work to capture in no more than 4 minute segments. So essentially I have to add 4 minute segments of each video clip to the queue. They capture fine at 4 minutes, but I still get errors at anything more than that. I don’t know, maybe a bug. Weird. But maybe this can help someone in the future.
Thanks for all your help!
