It is the only drive I have, so I’ll assume it’s on the system drive.

Hey John, I have a new Mac Pro quad processor running at 2.93. 1 TB standard HD and 6 GB RAM. My HD is not even close to capacity.

I don’t have a card reader, so I don’t know about the way you try to transfer. If FW ports get blown, I would not risk hooking up your new cam either. I don’t think the cam HAS to be hooked up for file transfer, I was just passing on the way I do it.

Well hopefully someone else will reply and you can get a better answer. Sorry I could not help.

Try this:
Don’t bother copying the files on your hard drive. Just hook up your camera and wait til your computer recognizes it by displaying an icon on your desktop.

In FCP go file, then log and trans. When the window opens, you should see the video files on your camera. Highlight the ones you want (log) and then transfer by dragging the files to the bottom window (“drag media here”).

There are millions of ways to do this, but this works for me.

By the way, I am considering the Panasonic 150 for my next camera.

Worked like a charm! Thanks Alan!
