Hey!

I have experienced the same thing with MXF files from my XF-100 and files from my 5D Mk II. My set up was Delock CF card reader connected to a MyBook Studio 2TB hard drive connected to my PB 13″. I lost about half a days material due to corrupt files. I started of by copying the cards directly to the external hard drive. Everything looked fine. I usually take random samples of my files after copying just to see if they work. At the end of the day I sat down to check some more and found that a lot of the files were corrupt and some did not play at all.
What I found after some trial and error was that copying directly to my PB internal HD worked fine. Card reader to external HD did not. My temporary solution was a roundtrip to the internal HD on my PB, then to external drive. What I noticed later was that if the card reader was physically to close to the external HD the files were corrupt. If I moved it away from the HD it worked fine. I have not found a solution or an explanation to what is going on but I am starting to think about RF issues if the reader is to close to the HD? I don’t know..
