Panasonic GH1 Capture Issue
I am going all over hoping to find a problem for my issue. I have a Panasonic GH1 and I cannot get clips larger than 5 minutes or so to Log and Transfer. Tons of shorter clips will import, but on the larger clips the progress bar goes from 0-100% but then when it finishes it leaves the file in the Queue and when you click it a red ! mark comes up that says unknown error.
Some facts:
I have 500+ GB of space
I have tried changing preferences to Apple ProRes 422 QT and LT
I have tried copying files to folder and then dragging folder into Log and Transfer
I tried both the camera and a card readerThanks for any help on this issue.

How is your hard drive formatted? You may be hitting a file size limit if it is FAT32 formatted.

You may be on to something. The hard drive is MS-DOS FAT 32. I have not been able to move really large .mov files onto this hard drive before to back them up. Is there a way to increase the file size limit? I’d really like to use this 1TB Seagate drive as my scratch disk. I cant format it now, as it has to much on it and I can’t back it up on anything.
Thanks for the help.

The file size limit is inherent in the FAT32 format so only reformatting will solve the problem. You will need to use another drive that is mac formatted and drives are cheap these days.

Can you give me the format I want? I may go purchase another drive and I am assuming it will will need to be formated before I use it. Basically this drive wont let me transfer anything over a certain GB IE 5? That seems a little ridiculous.

Format it OS Mac Extended not journaled & u’ll be fine.

The file limitation is 2 gig and I am sure it seemed perfectly logical to the Microsoft developers who speced it last century.
