Various FCP HD (P2-card) Clips not Viewable
Hi Everyone,
I have a hand full of P2 clips shot on a Panasonic HVX-200 camera that are acting up. I have been able to view them for an entire year. Now If I click on them I get the eternal spinning rainbow ball—–or—–they might play for a few seconds and then they stop playing, but the progress bar may still move or I can scroll through them manually and hear audio and see the frames change, but they wont play automatically. I also cannot copy nor duplicate them to override any corruption.
What might be causing this and how might i correct it—and how can I prevent it in the future?
Help me understand, please.

Sounds like a bum hard drive.

You didn’t say whether these were the MXF files or the rewrapped QT files. Always save a copy of the MXF files.
Best,

They are .mov files.
I am editing on a G-4 Powerbook and using 10 LaCie external harddrives for my data all linked by an 8-port NITRO AV professional Firewire 800 hub. So, the data only has to flow through one other harddrive and the port, at the most, to get to my computer.
I have been able to cut out a few video frames (leaving the audio tracks intact) and export one of the clips as a .mov file and it worked fine (just missing a few video frames). Continuity of audio was the important part. Cut-a-ways can fill.So, something is happening to the files in storage.
The harddrive is rather full, but I have been told I can fill them up without problems. For the LaCie 1-Terabyte harddrive, there is 2.9 GB space remaining.Any ideas?
