After playing more with V.5 on an Alexa gig I can tell you:
a) The new version 5 IS WAY FASTER than v.4, when it comes to S x S cards, if you can get your hands on 64Gb cards specially due to the newer trf technology (dis-proportionally faster than 32Gb cards)
b) My show uses Alexa and PL modified Canon 7D, the footage from the CF cards fly as well, although the v.5 warns you that there are no video files on the card, at least it allows you to download it anyway.
c) The big boo boo comes when trying to download sound files from CF cards, the system starts and almost at the end it stops with the dreaded error big red X. I unchecked the box that refers to video files on card, changed the verification, still crashes 🙁
d) I separate the files on A Camera, B Camera folders witha prefix and roll number that I change depending on the destination, all this to make sense to editorial, the checking and un-checking preset destinations render problems when trying to change back to A camera after trf’ing B cam. Making me re do the destination route loosing time.
Now I have to juggle v4 and 5 to get the best from both, if anyone has a suggestion….plese!
