Personally, I’ve found that the P2 Contents Management Software is the most reliable method that I’ve used to transfer footage from a P2 card (mounted on my Mac using my HVX200’s firewire port) to my hard drive.
Every now and again, clips I attempt to import via FCP give me the “red exclamation point of doo…” err… “the red exclaimation point of retry”.

Ah, that’s what I thought, Jeremy. Well, since we’ve only had the camera for about 4 days, I’m sure we can just return it and get a new one.
Quite a bummer, though, overall.
Thanks for your help everyone!

Well, I guess what’s confusing me is that everything I try to record to any of my P2 cards now looks like this, regardless of whether or not it has been connected to a computer after being formatted.

I just checked my camera’s firmware version. It’s v4.06-00-0.00, the same as the most current version. Guess that’s not the problem. :/

Thanks for the tip. I’ll definitely do that from now on.
But I don’t understand how that would affect the footage on a P2 card that’s been formatted and not yet connected to a computer. Does importing directly off a P2 in FCP permanently ruin an HVX’s P2 mechanism?

*EDIT* Double-post, my bad.

I connected my HVX200 to my laptop (after write protecting the cards), and placed the camera in PC mode (or whatever it’s called). The P2 cards then mounted on my desktop and I used FCP to transfer the footage to my Project folder.

That is a good question, Rennie. I suppose I assumed that because it was a brand new camera it came with the newest firmware.
I’ll look into it today. Thanks!

Hmmm, yeah, I did extensive searching today and yesterday and didn’t find much in the way of answers to this problem. I’m thinking I’ll just have to send the unit back and get a replacement. Bummer.
Naturally, from now on, when I’m on a shoot with the HVX200 I’ll be living in fear that the glitch will rear it’s ugly head once again!
