Media Destination is yellow w. arrows
Anyone know what it means when the status “light” in the media destinations box turns from green to yellow with arrows?
I’ve got an external firewire drive which mounts fine, I can digitize to it, and will play back fine, but when I restart the system, it will lose all links to that drive and won’t reconnect media. (and give me that yellow ‘light’ with the arrows.) Even though I can see it on the desktop and it opens fine in the finder. It’s only about half full.
Disclaimer: yea I’ve got fast SCSI drives which I mainly use for media, i was in a pinch and need a few lousy megs somewhere else.

I think (but I could be wrong there) that 844/X only allows storage connected to a RAID controller or FC-card in a 64bit PCI slot. Probably it simply does not believe that you really want to put video on a FireWire drive.

It means that the app thinks the volume is on a slow connection such as a network, and possibly isn’t fast enough to capture/play back video. I don’t think it would normally do that for Firewire drives. Maybe your drive is formatted as a Windows volume?

Ah HA!
It IS formatted for Windoze! I have other Firewire drives which are formatted for Mac and they appear fine in Media 100.
Where do I send the beer? 🙂
