Thank you Ian!
Although I don’t have the original SxS card anymore, within the next 24 hours I will check the new version of Content Browser with the BPAV archive I previously created.

Thank you for the advice… and my sincerest apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I’ve been rather tied up on several other projects…
That being said, the issue occurs regardless as to whether the preferences are trashed, or a new BPAV archive is created. Having a free moment on my current project, I tested the BPAV archive I created a little over a month ago from the original SxS card… and managed to crash Content Browser within minutes.

With FCP7:
If you still have the original cards on a hard drive, you can start by importing the audio from the footage using Log and Transfer, then send the audio files to Compressor (using Send To -> Compressor), and then apply the MP3 preset to those clips in Compressor. (See Jeremy’s answer here: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/955419#1175318 )
If you don’t have the original card, but have the Quicktime .MOVs, you should be able to similarly apply the compressor preset.
Note that this workflow (like MPEG Streamclip) will not give you timecode. If your client and/or their transcriptionist requires timecode, you’ll have to approach this differently. Frequently an MP4 with visible TC burn is what they’re looking for.
Cheers,

I’ve had to do the same repair.

A trip to Sony Service in Teaneck is in your camera’s future.
There are generally two failure modes with respect to the DC jack on this camera – electrical (i.e. external power blows out something internally, or similar issue) and mechanical (jack is wrenched enough over time that it stops working eventually).
Unfortunately, either way, without any user serviceable parts there’s not much you can do except send it to Sony.

Hi Daniel,
You’re asking quite a number of involved questions about what seems to be a specific application. It may be advisable to bring in a consultant about the specifics of your requirements now, as well as in the future.
With respect to your questions about 3G-SDI over coaxial cable, it is certainly possible to run 3G-SDI over coax. There are a number of factors that influence achievable distance, of course. Belden’s blog entry about cable performance should help illuminate the issues:
https://www.belden.com/blog/broadcastav/the-key-to-video-cable-performance.cfm
As for single-link 6G, that’s a problematic format at the moment. Aside from being non-standardized format at the moment, the higher data rate of 6G suggests that you’re likely to have shorter safely achievable runs. Depending on your application, you may wish to go a different route.

If you’re working directly in FCP7, Shane is 100% correct.
However, if you’re handy with FFMPEG/FFMBC, XML, and scripting, you can convert the files directly from the copies of your cards to ProRes files. (I did precisely this for a project last year.) The caveat of course is that the ProRes that the FF packages write is not Apple authorized… which may or may not be an important point, depending on your workflow.

If you have the time set in the camera, the timecode in the file should reflect TOD (from the camera). That being said, we did discover that the clip count in the filename would continually be reset to zero when the power was cycled.

Hmm. From what I’m reading, this might indicate an error reading the card data.
Make sure you’re not running any other programs that might be accessing the card, and try again.
If you have a program that you use to make secure, checksummed backups (like ShotPut Pro), I’d try copying the card using that program, and then try extracting from the copy.

Hi Alvin,
You should be able to download the manual from this link:
ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/pub/Panasonic/drivers/PBTS/manuals/AG-HVX200APOpsManual.pdf
The HVX200 and HVX200A are – with the exception of the CCD block – functionally identical.
