Have you tried copying hte lastclip.txt from one of the other card files into the corrupt one, just to see what happens?

When you import into FCP with the P2 import, it is not converting anything, it is just merging data. So, the mxf files will have the same resolution/quality as the quicktimes that are created on import.They have the resolution that was set in the camera when it was shot.

At least that’s the delusion that i have been operating under…

I have done many shoots with the firestores, they always seem to work, but are really flaky. I had 2 cam shoot, and the displays on both units went out, could only get them back by restarting them. then another firestore the display reversed on me!!!! Talk about confusing. But, they always seemed to record what they were supposed to.

I have also done a few shoots on P2, and they were flawless in operation.

Firestores- Lenghtof recording +, reliability ?, quicktime playback +, copy time to computer slow), bulky for run&gun

P2 – reliable, little short on recording time, no playback until into FCP (unless you use the camera), copy time to laptop fast, easy to carry extra cards.

I actually don’t like having all my material on one physical drive.
