    Why would X look at a hard drive on the desktop as a camera? It does not show up under devices, rather camera. Any ideas?

    There’s folder on the root level called “VIDEO” or “CONTENTS” or “XDROOT” or something that will treat the drive like a card.

    [Jeremy Garchow] “”XDROOT””

    Bingo. The producer grabbed all the cards from the three cameras and transferred them onto a hard drive. The XDROOT folder caused the entire drive to be seen as a camera and also took away my ability to see any sub-folders on import. Moved that out and everything was back to normal. Whew.
