HERE IS THE ANSWER!

Thanks for all the help and we learned a tiny trick that works with the P2 Directory Structure error (for anyone else who made this mistake);

If, you change the name of the CONTENTS folder on the p2 card data, sometimes you can just change the name back to CONTENTS. However, this does not always work. You need to open a new folder, name it CONTENTS, then move the other 6 folders into it. That worked for us on all files affected.

Thanks again!
Cheers

I appreciate your help and have gone through your video. We renamed the folders as suggested. However, even though all the content is there, including all subfolders, neither P2CMS will recognize or FCP. Is there any software you might suggest? Currently, we can download each video file individually in Pavtube to convert which is how we know the content is all there. However, that process is just shy of putting needles in our eyes. Thanks again.

I was being kind when I said ‘we’. Only 2 of many files dumped off during a shoot was renamed by an individual who simply didnt know the procedure.

However, this still leaves us with 2 important folders incorrectly named, and now only viewable with a painstaking file converter program…

So, is there a way to re-structure the folders that were renamed?

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, all the folders are present. It happened when we renamed the CONTENTS folder. I may have confused you on the 64GB card issue. The problem is; the CONTENT files contain 64GB and we no longer have the cards, they were rentals. We own the P2 cams, but only own 4s and 16GBs. So, reloading the files back on the camera isnt possible, unless we go rent a 64GB again.

All files seem to be present, FCP just wont read the folder structure. Any suggestions?

Thanks so much

Just read your life saver post to another member. We rented some p2 64s and recently learned the file structure is invalid. We only own smaller cards. Before we rent or purchase a 64 ( you know how expensive they are), to repair this, will this repair work for us as the files are in tact, but the .txt file is missing?

Thanks!
