  • Problems with 16GB card

    Posted by Mike Kommersmith on August 20, 2007 at 9:16 pm

    Hello,

    I have been using a 16 GB card with an 8 GB for the last couple of weeks on my HVX-200. Every time I try to unload my footage, via camera FireWire connection, I have to reboot my MacBook Pro several times – to get the 16GB card to be recognized on my desktop.

    According to Panasonic no drivers are needed for the 16 GB card to be used with a Mac. I have the latest camera Firmware installed on my camera.

    Any Idea’s?

    Mike

    Don’t know who you talked to at Panasonic, but you need to load the new drivers for the MAC as well. That should resolve your entire problem.

    Best,

    Hey Jan,
    Sorry about this, but my question isn’t regarding the P2 cards, per se, but more about the P2 store and you seem the guy to ask. We shot a bunch of stuff this sunday and when we tried to dump the footage, 4 of the drives (cards) wouldn’t mount. We’re using a Mac and the P2 store was formatted for Mac, but when it’s plugged in to the desktop only 11 drives out of 16 show up on the desktop. The 11 that show up are all fine. No problems, the footage looks great.
    Then when we went in through Apple’s Disk Utility, we can see the all the drives (including the missing ones), but when we click on one of the missing drives and “Mount Disk”, nothing happens… Also, under the info for the missing drives, it says format: Windows_Fat_16, while all the ones that show up say: MS-DOS File System.
    We never changed anything while shooting, but for some reason there seems to be 2 different formats for some of the cards. How do we access those drives???

    If you’ve got a question, best to post it fresh rather than piggy-back on someone else’s unrelated and already-answered question. Since Jan, who is a lady, not a guy, already answered the original question in this thread, there would be no real reason for her to check further posts.

    Same with all the people here who COULD answer your question. They don’t see it, and don’t respond, since even your subject line doesn’t indicate a change from the 16GB card thread.

    Actually, scott, I did post the question fresh as well. I posted here to try and reach Jan specifically, since I couldn’t find a way to contact HER directly. SHE might not have seen my other post, since SHE hasn’t replied to it. So I thought I could try to get in touch by posting to a thread SHE HAD replied to, in the hopes that SHE would check back.
    Besides, apparently people do still check threads, even after the original question has been answered, otherwise I wouldn’t be getting all your insightful comments…
