    Ian, how does one empty the cache for Transfer without choosing each entry individually?

    Thanks Craig! Works perfectly. It looked like crap until I manually set de-interlace to automatic. Why wouldn’t that just be the default setting?

    My clients won’t be editing the files just viewing them. I will always have the original BPAV files…both sets.

    Thanks again.

    I have at least 4 that I can directly attribute problems to…whoever distributes them.

    It does not work with Safari…as you know. I believe you just copy it on to an SXS card from the computer and load it into the EX1r. There is a menu function called version up. Make sure you have an uninterrupted power source while doing this. Ian will jump in here if I am wrong I am sure.

    The latest firmware for EX1r is 1.15. It is fairly easy to upgrade and you should. I do not think it will solve this problem though.

    I have the eFilms and whenever I have a problem…its seems to stem from these. I will buy a different card next time.

    Sony may not recommend them but they sell them.

    Use a browser other than Safari to open this link. It does not like Safari.

    I completely agree with Craig. The extra process of copying from SXS to SDHC seems really klugey. I would eliminate that for 250.00.

    FWIW i use Clip Browser “Copy all” to copy all of the files from the SDHC card to a 1TB Internal Hard Drive on my MacPro. I use the CRC check which takes extra time but I am not usually in enough of a hurry to not check the data. On a few occasions Clip Browser did stop the transfer of the data. I assumed it was checking the data as it was supposed to. I did the transfer again and it was fine. I then change the file number that Clip Browser assigns to something that makes sense to me and use XDCam transfer to import the files from the 1TB hard drive to Final Cut Server. Now I have two copies of the files. Only now will I erase the clips.

    I load a ton of clips everyday and have only lost one file to date (it was a static electricity event). It is amazing how many TB hard drives I am going through. I am considering LTO back-up for each drive but have not found a system that works with Mac.

  • A couple of things…I have version 2.6 of XD cam clip browser. That could be part of your problem. The link for the correct version has been posted many times. Also…if you click file>new preview window you don’t get anything?
