  • XDCAM transfer into FCP7 so slowwwww

    Posted by Daryl K davis on May 1, 2012 at 10:28 pm

    Just got 8 SONY XDCAM discs for a quick down and dirty project.

    I’m importing into FCP7 via XDCAM Transfer but it’s going sooo slow – about 3 hrs per 23gb disc. It’s been a year or so since I last dealt with SONY XDCAM media but I don’t recall it being so painful.

    What’s with that?

    – FCP 7.0.3
    – XDCAM TRANSFER Version 2.12.0
    – SONY PDW-U1 XDCAM deck
    – Lacie 4tb eSATA drive

    Any thoughts?

    OK, figured it out.

    Had to do a firmware update on the borrowed SONY PDW-U1 deck. Transfer speeds are now at 2.9x as opposed to .3x before.

    Hi Daryl – curious if you can elaborate on that issue at all, I seem to be having the same problem. What was your fix?
