P2 Footage has digital glitching, causes frame dropping, I/O errors. Solutions?
SYSTEM:
Dual 2 Ghz Power PC G5 (Power Mac 7.3
2.5 GB DDR SDRAM
Kona 3X Version 3.3
OS X 10.4.9
FCP 5.1.4
QuickTime 7.1.5
6.2 TB X-Serve Raid
Controlled by FiberShare 3.0When I am playing down P2 footage I am having a real problem with digital artifacting, with large square green, or scrambled squares coming up. These are not in the footage itself, but will jump around in the media. These also seem to cause FCP to drop frames. In addition when I go to export it will give me an I/O error. I try again and the clip exports fine, without a single glitch. Is there any way to solve this issue? Is this inherant to P2 Files. Advice?

Controlled by FiberShare 3.0I should mention that this footage was shot on an HVX at 59.94 and captured to a Firestore. There is also one error that seems to be consistant. When I go double time through the footage and then stop and play at normal speed, it will play for a second, then go to black for a second, and then come back. It is not dropping frames exactly, becuase it is not throwing up a dropout message, but it does this drop to black everytime I do this. Of course if I reverse and play over the same section it no longer does it.

I can honestly say that I have never seen this behaviour. Truely odd. Try posting this in the P2 forum. Panasonic is known to hang about there.
