    Can you try dragging a P2 folder from the hard drive to your boot drive?

    have you checked your preferences in the log and transfer window?

    I am just making stuff up here, I have no definite answers. The p2 card I tried is in my documents folder.

    [JeremyG] “Can you try dragging a P2 folder from the hard drive to your boot drive?”

    OK, I have done this. I tried footage from an external firewire drive. No go. So I copied footage from a DVD onto my desktop…tried again…nada. Good idea though.

    [JeremyG] “have you checked your preferences in the log and transfer window?”

    The FIRST thing I did…your advice ringing in my head…cause I IGNORED it the first time.

    I’ll try the documents folder…when I get home. I am at work…night gig now. SUCKS!

    Jeremy,

    I really appreciate your attempts to help here. I was just over on the apple board and some of them are gettting a visit from Kernel Panic when they try to import. I tried the prefs. I am running a PPC dual 2G 6G Ram. I am trying the copy ing to boot and see if that works. I tried repair permisssions nadda.

    Seems they at apple better start paying some OT to get this fixed pretty quickly and timely. ha ha not so ha.

    PS

    Hmm, haven’t read the apple board, but so far the difference between what I have seen here is Intel vs PPC. Anyone over on the Apple board kernel panicking with Intel?

    I bet it’s quiet and distraction free?

    DUDE! I used FCP rescue a FOURTH time, restarted my computer, zapped my PRAM, ran the Disk Utility and Disk Warrior and NOW I have the ability to import Panasonic P2!

    Whew….that was a LOT of coaxing.

    Yes, nights are peaceful. But also without input of producer about what direction to take in a scene…if what I am doing is good and what they wanted.

    But, they aren’t riding me all the time either…

    SWEEET! Dance of joy!

    I’m the guy from the Apple board getting kernel panics.

    I’m on a pre-Aluminum Intel iMac.

    My P2 issue is a little different than described above. I’m importing from card-in-camera via the log and transfer window. And I can preview the clips and access the media fine, but while capturing, the computer gives me the GSOD after a handful of clips.

    I reverted to FCS 6.0 and still have the problem, so it’s either 10.4.11 or QT 7.3.

    I need to revert to QT 7.2. What gets lost or saved after an “archive and reinstall” of the OS? My only experience is with the erase and reinstall procedure. This isn’t my dedicated editing machine, and there’s a mess of documents and apps and plug-ins I don’t want to lose off this machine…

    Been on with Apple Tech Support, I know, last resort most times. They had not even heard of this problem and tried to blame it on Flip4Mac, my BlackMagic Drivers, etc.

    I find it sad that we in the trentches don’t have someone from Apple monotoring the boards. Let alone have an entire division let out something that disables my ability to injest media?

    Wow,
