Cannot move captured footage
I’ve captured footage in FCP 4.5 using a Canopus ADVC-100. When I try to move the captured file from my computer to an external harddrive it gives me the following error midway through the move:
“The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in “filename” could not be read or written. (Error code -36)”
I’ve tried converting the file to a MOV, DV, & AVI format but I continuously get the same message. Additionally, I’ve made sure the file is not locked in anyway. Any suggestions on what’s happening here and what I can do to resolve this?

Is the drive initialized with HFS+?

How do I find out? (I’m unsure of what that is ‘HFS+’)

I’m running on OS X 10.3.8 so I’m assuming it’s utilizing the HFS+ filesystem. Anything you would like me to do to confirm this?
HFS+ is the preferred filesystem on Mac OS X. It supports journaling, quotas, byte-rang locking, Finder information in metadata, multiple encodings, hard and symbolic links aliases, support for hiding file extensions on a per-file basis, etc. HFS+ uses B-Tree heavily for many of its internals

Copied from my Mac System Profile, Hardware Review colum:
Writable: Yes
File System: Journaled HFS+
BSD Name: disk0s5 -
Hmmm…very strange.
Have you tried using the Media Manager to move the data? You should use the Copy function for this to be safe, then after ensuring that the media copied over, you can blow away the originals.

Can you give me instructions on how I can find and use the media manager to transfer my files?

Check the Help Menu within FCP. That way you can use the manual with its awesome search capabilities. The manual is really quite good in this respect. Look Up: Media Manager > Copy.
