  • xdcam disc does not mount on Leopard

    Posted by Jurriaan Van der kamp on September 24, 2009 at 7:21 pm

    Hi,
    i recently upgraded mij macbookpro (2.2 santa rosa) to leopard. Previously i’v edited with fcp 6.0.1 on Tiger without any problems. Today i’ve tried to mount a xdcam disc running 10.5.8 (via a sony 530 and firewire) and it just wouldn’t show. I rebooted with Tiger (still on mij external harddrive) and shazam there was the xddisc image just like that. So i assume that the Sony 530 camera’s settings where o.k. becouse it worked just fine in Tiger. I don’t think it had anything to do with FCP or Xdcamtransfer… So it must be something in Leopard. When i looked in my systemprofiel it could see the 530 cameraq just fine unther Leopard!
    Who can help me..
    Macbookpro 2.2 intel core 2 duo
    Fcp 6.0.1
    Xdcamtransfer 2.5.1

    Jurriaan,

    It’s my understanding that most of the XDCAM softwware does NOT work with Snow Leopard yet.

    Your Version of XDCAM Transfer is pretty old. Current stable version is 2.10.0 – I’d try updating that first.

    This was a known issue with XDCAM Transfer versions prior to version 2.5.1 and OSX 10.5 ( Leopard ) ie the disc would not mount visibly on the desktop. (Sony’s record of getting their Mac based XDCAM software ready for new versions of the Mac OS in a timely fashion is far from exemplary … in this previous instance it took a little over 4 months). With version 2.5.1 the issue was resolved however, which is the version you note as having installed. My guess is a corrupt install and so I’d second Stuart’s advice to install XDT 2.10.0 … it should get you up and running plus its a much better version 🙂

    Best
