App for naming P2 cards?
Posted by Niklas Wikman on August 26, 2008 at 7:28 amI have realized I cannot work with NO NAME cards when offloading or importing to FCP.
I read Shanes blog about P2 offload, but since I already have HD Log Bronze, is there any free app that can name the cards for me? Of course I know that if the card is formatted in the camera (you shold not format it elsewhere) the name is lost.

August 26, 2008 at 5:16 pmPanasonic makes one…called the P2 Formatter. You use that to erase cards and name them. Found at the usual SixBullets site:

August 27, 2008 at 6:09 amThank God I still have our main editing Mac running Tiger, since the P2Formatter does not support write under Leopard.
(Now I only have to collect the strength to format the cards – we’ve done our first shoot and the content is offloaded onto two disks with HD Log and also brought into FCP. Works like a charm.)
But when you are used to keep those Betas, it is not easy to erase the cards… oh, well. 🙂

P2 Driver Software for Mac
Notice
When using Mac OS X Leopard
Not support write and delete of contents data to P2 card now.as of 2008.1.29
But perhaps I’m misunderstanding something here?

Tried USB, but with no luck.

I don’t know. When I use the PCD20 it just works.
