    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,

    What if you drag the media off of the card to your hard drive and don’t use the camera?

    I’m not familiar with dealing with the mxf files or backing up p2 cards etc. The way I’ve always dealt with getting my footage was through the log and transfer window with the camera attached. So I didn’t really explore the other options.

    I remember though when I opened the “NO NAME” p2 drive that mounted, there were no files displayed within it. No folders, no “lastclip.txt” But if I went into Log and Transfer, I could see and playback all the clips in the previewer.

    Mounting the same P2 card on my MBP that’s still running QT 7.2 showed all the files did indeed exist, however.

    I cannot say with any certainty that the folders were missing from the card in every instance prior to my kernel panics. I’m not sure I checked everytime. A drive mounted, and I went straight to Log and Transfer.

    I just did a more earnest reinstallation of FCP 6.0. (ie deleting all the preferences, frameworks, logs, package receipts, etc for compressor, qmaster, et al as described here: https://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302845 prior to reinstalling) and I have since been unable to make it crash. And the files are showing up in NO NAME now.

    I’m going to try reimporting this card, restarting, etc, until I can get it to crash again. If I can’t, maybe I figured something out here with my latest reinstall…

    See this thread:

    The material does not show up, but it’s there. I don’t know what this is and it suspiciously happened after upgrading the HVX to 16GB firmware.

    Good for you for taking the time to do it right.

    Post back with any more issues.
