Corrupt P2 Files – Can they Be Fixed?
I’m importing my P2 files to FCP 5.1 and am getting hung up on one. I’m getting the “unable to import… possibly corrupt” error after FCP 5.1 tries to import (no problems importing other files from same shoot). Is there someway to repair P2 clips?
I hope so.
Thanks for any advice.

Copy the Contents folder and lastclip.txt back to the P2 card and put it back in the camera and see what it thinks about the corruption. If it plays, try reimporting it to the Apple, by first moving it to the HDD and then import to the FCP app.
Hope that helps,

Jan,
I just shot a feature with the camera. We shot 92 rolls, had a great time with the camera.
In post, we are finding reallly odd glitches on footage from 10 of those roles. It’s a very specific pattern of small ‘greenish’ boxes that are there for one frame and then gone. They are over the footage, look like they have been superimposed.
I just found this thread, and went to try putting the original roll back on the P2 card, but OS X tells me that NO NAME can’t be modify (the p2 card that is.)
Do you know how to overcome this?
Best,

Have you installed the P2 driver (cd included w/ camera) in to your Mac? I don’t think it can recognize the card properly w/o it.
Also, I’ve experience those green dots too, but it turnded out to be the hard drive (Medea Raid). Once I switched to a GRAID, they went away.
Hope this helps.

I had the same problem with 720 25p – FCP doesn’t like 720 25p – currently no codec for it… go figure!?!?! I guess Apple is expecting us PAL countries to convert to NTSC…
