Don, I think i think i have cracked it, when i went to edit it did the same on a render, basically it froze again, but kept going with the render, but very very slowly, So i made the connection, its a problem with the raid which i use as the scratch disk, when i changed the scratch disk to another disk the card reader imported ok and the rendering worked ok.

I need to repair the scratch disk now.

Thanks for all your help

Hi again Don, well i tried what you suggested and i decided to transfer a clip at a time instead of the 30 or so on the SXS card, all was going well but then it stopped working again. Basically what is happening is that that it freezes the mouse freezes and the transfer freezes, then i get the message.

“The disk was not ejected properly. If possible, always eject a disk before unplugging it or turning it off” This seems to suggest a problem with the card reader !! But i did not suspect this as i managed to import them using XDCAM Transfer on another Mac at work !!

This is really frustrating, any ideas ! is there any other way of getting my footage into FCP ?

Help

Hi Don, i think i may have downloaded XDCAM Transfer recently. To be clear i had been running XDCAM Transfer when i was on Leopard, when i upgraded to Snow Leopard i obviously lost that facility as it did not support SL, so i started using Log and Transfer.

I thought they might have now brought out XDCAM Transfer for SL so i think i may have downloaded the wrong version and this might have had some effect on log and transfer, not sure.

Anyway, thanks for you detailed response i will give it a go now and let you know how i get on, thanks again.
