Clip Browser 2 now has a CRC error checking option so apparently there can be errors when copying. I believe ShotPutExpress also does error checking.

This from CB2 manual:
For greater copy reliability, you can enable the CRC
(cyclic redundancy check) error check option. However,
copy operations take longer to complete when this option
is enabled.

I’ve been shooting Tennis without any problems. I’ve seen some soccer (futbol) video though where I can see the background vertical lines “bend” when the camera tracks a running player.

I don’t think the long GOP is an issue at all as far as I can see. I think plenty of people are using XDCAM (as well as EX) to shoot sports and the codec is VERY HARD to break (in fact I can’t as of yet). If you’re shooting sports you should shoot 720p60(50PAL) or 1080i59.94(50PAL). I haven’t seen the image “go soft” (sign the codec can’t handle the data rate) under those circumstances.

and a bit YIPEE for those who’ve ever had to suffer through “orphaned” MP4 files.

With ClipBrowser 2.0 you can import an “orphaned” EX MP4 and it’ll create a new viable BPAV folder that XDCAM Transfer Mac 2.7 has no problem understanding.

Thanks for such a Moooving tribute to my “capitation.” As my first act as CineAlta floating head I’ve posted the link to Clip Browser 2 above.

Still shows Firmware 1.0 on DL sites.

I heard a rumor that ClipBrowser 2.0 shout be available in the next few days so maybe there’s a few XDCAM related updates coming soon.

Matt, why not post the step by step if you can. It’ll help folks know what you did just in case they bump into a similar situation.

[Dave Matthis] “Cost of Sony PDW-U1 XDCAM drive is $3000”

Under $2500 AFIAK.

[Dave Matthis] “It apparently handles XDCAM media files only. Great for footage, but not for other files generated in post. “

Note true at all. With the firmware upgrade it can store ANYTHING (including P2 for example). The complete disk can be used as data storage of any kind.

Fluorescent sun with a 3200°K color temperature that changes rapidly. We have a country on Earth called with the same name, Iceland, as your planet. The Sony sells the EX1 on your planet too?

All kidding aside

Do you have such video you could show us? Are you getting rapid color temp changes due to some celestial phenomena or maybe reflections from something or rapidly moving clouds. I’m a bit bewildered.

I’m using DL-DVD at the moment for archive. You ABSOLUTELY MUST make sure you’re using TOP RATED media if you’re archiving to optical.
