All-righty then…
I did a clean install of the OS (had to go back to 10.4.0 and go up from there) and left it at 10.4.8 and then I re-installed the XDCam transfer software version 1.1 and now it works like a champ. No transfer errors. Trying to re-trace my steps, I think that I did the 10.4.9 update and then never used the transfer software until I had the problem.I guess it is possible that there could be a problem with OS 10.4.9 and XDCam transfer software version 1.1 on PPC Macs. I don’t have a lot of software installed on that machine so I don’t know what other factors may be involved. I know I have not done any other installs of anything recently. Anyone else out there encountered this?

I have a hunch it is the 10.4.9 OS update. I can’t verify for sure because I’m not sure the exact day I did the update. When I get a chance, I will do a clean OS install (hopefully this weekend) and get back to 10.4.8. and see if that is the culprit. I haven’t done any other updates. By the way, this is on a G5 dual 2.5GHz and not an Intel Mac – not sure if this matters but it might.

I have the 2/3″ lens adapter on my F350 and I use the Canon HJ11eX4.7B IRSE wide angle lens as my main lens. I need a wide lens for much of what I shoot and I almost never need to shoot real long. I do give up a bit of the wide angle in the conversion but not enough to affect me. By having the adapter, I can go to any broadcast rental house anywhere and not have to worry if they have 1/2″ lenses available. I am extremely happy with this setup – the lens was pricey but the pictures are amazing.

Update on this: The footage that I imported has 1 frame of colored digital blocking about every 1 second or so. I know it was recorded clean because it plays out of the deck fine so there is some issue going on with the transfer software.

I just started getting this error yesterday. I have owned an F350 and F70 since September and it has always worked flawlessly. Using FCP 5.1.4 and XDCam Transfer 1.1.0. I was loading DVCam formatted footage and it wouldn’t import but I could watch the proxy file. I tried re-installing XDCam Transfer and that worked for a few clip imports and then it started again. Tried trashing the preferences file and that worked for 1 import and then I got the error again. I just kept re-trying importing each clip over and over and they eventually imported. I haven’t been able to find any info on this. Very strange…
