    Right now I can play the clip until it hangs, write down the timecode where it hangs, force quit and restart FCP, and ingest the clip excluding 30 frames surrounding the hang point. That has worked so far, but it isn’t very elegant. I have lots of clips of varying lengths that I’ll ultimately back up to tape. I’ll use that as my time code master.

    No, redundant is ok, I appreciate your willingness to help. I use a PCD20 card reader daisychained to the FW800 drive. I’ve been copying into the database and then using L&T without exporting. I use compare on ingest and had no errors when copying this footage from the original cards.

    I can’t watch the whole clip in p2cms’ viewer. It hangs up at the same point as L&T, so I know it isn’t an FCP problem.

    Thanks

    I’m shooting 720/60, AVCIntra. I’ve checked and the drive is Mac OS extended. It always hangs on the same spots, though not always the same number of frames apart.

    I think it may be that the footage was imported (through P2CMS) via FW800 while the IOHD was connected. I’ve noticed that the IO doesn’t play well with FW drives.

    Mac OS extended. I’ve got lots of other footage on the same drive, and plenty of space too. The only clips I have problems with are longish (over 6 minutes) AVC-Intra.

    Yeah, sorry I meant Intel machine.

    P2CMS will only save changes to the metadata if you’ve already copied the files from your locked card. If you try to change the metadata on a card before the contents are transferred–and if the card is locked as has been recommended by many–P2CMS won’t save the changes.

    Anybody use the new AJ-PCD35 with the express connection to a macbook pro? I’m wondering if it would offload faster to a FW800 drive or would something in between (like the bus speed limitations or the macbook itself) slow it down.

    My tv senses the aspect ratio and switches itself accordingly.

    Your smart TV senses it only if the smart producer/broadcaster has embedded the correct anamorphic signal designator. Sometimes this isn’t done, which is very frustrating.

    I know it will seem nit-picky to you, but there is no such thing as 720 NTSC or PAL. NTSC refers to standard definition only, so using it to describe whether you’re shooting for a 60 Hz electrical system (North America) or 50 Hz (Europe) can be confusing.

    Thanks to your post, Jeremy, I downloaded the update and installed it. I am happy to report that my wireless can receive two separate transmitters on different frequencies. Happy day! As a one-man-band, this is a big deal for me.

    Thanks again.
