Thanks for the suggestion. I don’t think it can be this as its a new drive with plenty of space. Also I took it along to another facility and tried ingesting using FCP 7. No problem worked quickly and simply.
My conclusion is that FCP 5.1.4 can not handle the G20 recorder for some reason.

As a work around for now I have ingested the files through FCP 7 using another project name even though I can not run the FCP 7 project on my machine with FCP 5.1.4. However as FCP makes the files into .mov files I was able to drag these into the 5.1.4 project with no problems and everything runs fine. I think this is because FCP does all the work in Quicktime. As I have the latest version of this it does not seem to be a problem handling these movs. Not an ideal solution but one that gets me out of jail for now.

The clips were shot by a professional DOP on a Panasonic HPX 30009 broadcast camera so I don’t have it here. They seemed to play OK when we reviewed on the shoot. They play fine on the field recorder he lent me (Panasonic AG-HPG20) to ingest them from but I have to return this in a day or two. I am going to try them with a system at work running FCP7 to see if it works on that. Will also check out FCP X info.

Meanwhile anybody got any other ideas on original request.

Many thanks

Derek
