P2-FCP-HD Import Weirdness

[Nate Stephens]

“Just so I have it straight, the mirrored drive and the NextStar are the same thing, correct? So the footage and your scratch drive are on that same SATA raid?”

No,, The mirrored 2.5″ Firewire drive with the P2 card files is not the sata dual drive Next Star.

I was thinking about trying another drive besides the esata. I will move the P2 card files/mirrored drive to the 8 core Desktop just after I finish tweaking some keys on another project, tomorrow.

But it would be nice to understand the lap top problem.

thanks

OK. Soryr about the confusion. As a test, set your capture scratch folder to the mirrored array and try the import again.

As suggested, I set the scratch drive to the mirrored drives with the original P2 card files.

I have 4 P2 card files with Last text file in individual folders. Imported in to FCP P2 viewer all four folders show up as spanned (which they are).. It started to import them, looked fine,,, came back later,, notta, nothin imported. Status said NO Data..

Odd very odd..

Raylight converted all MXF files to quicktime on the mirrored drive tho..

weird..

Thanks Jeremy, you hit it on the head. All 4 hours plus imported as one large file,, cool..

But the coolest thing is, now I know it is not the new sata enclosure, Nexstar, by Vantec.. it is a really cool non-enclosure.. No screws, no extra hardware, just plug your sata hard drives in like the old 8-track audio carts.

Shane has mentioned that wheel before and that little check box, but I don’t think it was in regards to the HPX500..

Thank you very much for the pointer.. The video was 720/30 so it does not have to be 24P to muck things up..
