Total bummer.
We have not had this happen again after the firmware upgrade we had done almost a year ago. Guess that was the answer.

Have not tried another reader yet, this is the only one in the house.
When I copy the files using finder back from the blu-ray disc to the hard drive, XDCam Transfer does not see any clips (the filesizes from the original BPAV and the restored backup match), not does XDCam transfer see any clips on the blu-ray.Dave Gilmour

Right now I am trying to backup from the hard drive, as a function from Shotput. The blu-ray disc burns without errors, but it is the restore back from the blu-ray disc to hard drive I cannot accomplish.

We had the firmware upgraded on the camera about 6 months ago, and that seemed to clear up the problem.

I am using ShotPut Pro V2.0 and a Primera Bravo XR Blu duplicator, and have all of the features working, EXCEPT I am having problems getting the disc to be printed as part of the process. The disc will sit in the printer for awhile, and then be placed in the “out” tray, with a blank face.
While I am at it, I was trying to use the drive in the Primera unit as an inport device – after an offload and a burn, I can’t “log and transfer” into Final Cut – I get an error. What am i doing wrong?
Thanks

OK, it’s happened again. This time was during a shoot where we needed an extra 15 minutes space to finish up a location, and put in a card that was used the previous day, but had the space available. The clip counter jumped back 30 numbers (instead of 1052, jumped back to 1032).
For the record, this issue is happening within the camera, no renumbering of clips is being done by user. The error is identifies during the backup/import process at the studio.
Always happens during a shoot, there’s no practical time to check if the numbers are correct, except during set-up, where I check the clip counter to make sure we are at the right starting point. The camera is supposed to increment the clip counter by 1 every time the record button is pressed, we use a custom 4 digits at the head (i.e. HA01_) and will increment the 1 to 2, and so on when we get close to 9,999 so each clip has a unique number.
Have spoken with Sony a couple of times now, and they seem mystified. Only solution they have proposed so far is to send them the camera so that they can upgrade the operating system, and that takes minimum 2 weeks.
Anybody that has experienced this, and knows of a good workflow work-around, please respond.
