Dear Michael,
thanks for your prompt reply. I think I found out what it was. To my great expense I had down loaded the demo Download Calibrated Host Application (Mac OSX)
from https://www.calibratedsoftware.com
If you read the info that goes with the Demo, it states that these grey bars would come with it because this is the restrictions of the Demo version. I didn’t not know I was even using the software. It says you can uninstall the demo which I did but my footage and anything coming in to the EXCAM TRANSFER had this grey line through it.
I knew it was not the card or the camera because I was able to view the same clips in EXCAM X Clip browser without lines.
So I have now gone and bought the full version of the software so I might be able to retrieve my clips without lines. This cost $80 and I was unable to receive the down load right away, they say it takes 48 hours, which to me seems a bit dodgy.
I’ve read about this software on other sites which say it’s supposed to be great.
Have you heard of this software, this company or this problem?
Thanks MBG
