Installed newest P2 driver from Panasonic–which came out after the E-Series cards. Voila! Shotput and Duel Adaptor work again. Praise be.

Hello Everyone,

I’m in Rwanda shooting a documentary with a Sony EX1 and a Panasonic HVX200. I’ve worked with both cameras quite a bit, but the laptop is a new purchase. I’m using the Duel Adaptor Card Reader and having serious problems. The first two cards we imported were a little temperamental, but worked OK. Unfortunately, now we are unable to get the Duel Adaptor to recognize the cards at all. For now we are using the camera to import the cards into the computer, but this is not a very realistic solution given our subject matter. We are shooting reconciliation meetings between perpetrators and victims of the ’94 genocide. The sessions go for hours on end, and losing a camera to import cards is really not an option.

I’ve combed the forums, but have had no luck yet. Here are a few of the things we have tried.

1. Removed 2 Gigs of Ram (to avoid the 4 Gig RAM problem that Barry Green has posted about).
2. Uninstalled SxS drivers
3. Installed the latest E series P2 driver
4. I have two Duel Adaptors so I know the problem is not with the adaptor itself.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thank you,

Scott

My computer setup is a 15″ MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 Gigs of RAM. Mac OS 10.5.7 and FCP 6.0.6

I should clarify that we are currently unable to get the computer to recognize the duel adaptor either.

Luke I am having the same problem and was wonder if you came across any solutions??

I had the same problem:
“Install Failed! The following install step failed: run preflight script for P2(japanese letters). contact the software manufacturer for assistance.”

After waisting half a day looking for workarounds I finally found the answer to the problem:

I hand installed the “P2PCCard.kext” Extension file I have found in the corrupt installer package with the help of this webpage:

This did the job!

That duel adapter really gave me a lot of headaches recently, last week I had to learn the hard way that it is not supported in snow leopard – just after running the upgrade from 10.5! So I had to reinstall everything (no time machine, stuiped me….)
