    Phew, that’s a relief. California sounds OK.Can you tell
    me does the 17″MBP have 9 or 6 pin 800 FireWire port?
    Apple stores in UK sell LaCie 1 metre cables for £ 20.00
    which is a lot if you get home and it’s the wrong size.

    I checked all the settings they were fine so I chose a new preset: 3GPP
    At first while compressing it appeared in Finder as -1. Then as compressor finished the -1 dissolved!!!
    I just have to upload to the website now!
    Fingers crossed

    Well, the drive is OK the info says it’s only 4MB but it takes hours to compress and it’s only 8mins 40 secs. I use the compressor preset for steaming H. 264 and that should automatically create file size shouldn’t it? I’ll go through it all again.

    I meant instead of the expresscard: use FireWire 800 to the drive and 400 to the camera deck. Also: I’m a Neanderthal still on SD but I think firewire400 may have problems with HD.Also external port could be wonky which happened to
    my LaCie

    The QT behaves normally: I can
    copy it and drag it etc: I remember we tried to delete the -1 last time and it made no difference so it is a difference in the file format . I’ll try again tho, tomorrow now as it is 2100 GMT!

    Hi David
    thanks for replying: I checked in utility and it’s extended alright I’m using the H.264 presets in compressor for a 3 minute video. When I use the iPhone Preset it comes M4V-1! It happened before I just can’t recall how it got sorted: might have been an Apple update perhaps

    Hi
    have you tried FireWire 800 to the drive?
