We are looking at going tapeless in the next 6 months (P2), and we already archive masters to DVCPRO25. We have a room full of shows on DVCPRO tapes that only have one pass on them, and some have never been out of their case since the day they were mastered, what a waste. Face it, tapeless acquisition is the future. We are looking for an online/or near online system using LTO or SDLT data tapes. ADIC has some other options using disk based archiving that we are also looking at. If anyone has a success story with this type of workflow, please share it.

Thanks Jesse, what version of OSX are you running? I had to return the P2 camera to Panasonic on Monday 🙁 , so I couldn’t try it again. I wish I had known about the write protect tab issue. It makes sense to protect the camera cards when mounted on the desktop, but you think they would show up anyway. I guess the fact that we are running OS 10.3.9 doesn’t help. I will be upgrading to FCP5 with 10.3.9 this week. I also will be demo-ing the P2 card reader and some cards with media already on the cards. Thanks all for the information.

We are demo-ing a P2 Camera from Panasonic. I hooked it up via USB and Firewire and it is not showing up on the desktop as a drive, so I have not been able to drag&drop media. The camera does show up on the USB info in profiler, must be a driver issue. I was told by the Panasonic engineer that Apple is working on it. I did see some kind of import feature on FCP5 and P2 at NAB. Not sure if that was Beta or final release FCP5.
