    P2 cards/Mac OS corruption

    Posted by Robin Probyn on March 7, 2011 at 1:42 am

    Hi

    I read on another P2 forum that connecting P2 cards to a mac book pro,without pulling the write protect tap.. would/could lead to permanent corruption of the footage.. due to the Mac OS writing files to drives.
    Is this correct..? a known problem..? I guess 99% of people will always pull the tap as if someone had a gun to their head.. but still a bit scary nes par?

    It is possible if the write protect tab is not enabled. Always be safe than sorry.

    Yeah I always pull any safety taps.. tapes, cards, disc,s.. had never heard about it before re P2 cards.
    Can also be a problem with CF cards..
