Dear Don

Thanx again for coming back on this one. As long as I can view the footage it is OK. Much appreciated!

Sony PMW EX3, Clip Browser and Quicktime Player:

Hi! Help would be much appreciated on this one:

I am currently doing a shoot in the Indian Himalaya and use a Mac Book Pro (with no editing software), G Raid 4TB external drive and Sony PMW EX3. When inserting the SxS car into the Mac and upon opening Clip Browser, Clip Browser didn’t have a destination window (in this case the G Raid would have been used). Thus I had to drag the BPAV file directly onto the G Raid. Subsequently the only software I have to see the footage with is Quicktime Player version 10 and when I open the BPAV file, the subfiles are listed but when I try to open them with Quicktime I get the message: OSSTATUS ERROR 12909. I need to clear all my SxS cards before continuing with shooting but am not sure about the integrity of the footage now on the G Raid and if simply dragging the BPAV file onto the G Raid is OK.

Help on this one would be much appreciated!

Thanx

Dear Don

Thank you so much for putting me onto the VLC player. I can play the footage now but when I play a clip a message comes up that says: “VLC can’t recognize the input’s format”. This error message window then has two buttons at the bottom. The one says: “Show details”. When I press that button it gives a log that amongst other things says: “no suitable demux module for file…..” and “PTS is out of range (…), dropping buffer”. The other button at the bottom has the option “Clean up”. I am assuming that I do NOT press this button.

Have you come across this before? As I said at the beginning of the thread this is only for review and translation purposes. So if I just view it, regardless of the error messages, the VLC program isn’t changing anything to the footage, no?

Thanx again for being a helluva help.

Regards

Hi!

I am currently doing a shoot in the Indian Himalaya and am using the following equipment: Sony EX3, G Raid 4TB Ext drive, Mac Book Pro and for software I only have Quicktime Player 10 and 7 installed on the computer. I use the software Sony provides to copy the BPAV folder to the external drive but when I try to review that same footage with either this XDcam Browser software it is not possible or with Quicktime Player it gives the error message OSSTATUS error 12909. I rename the BPAV folder each time it is imported so that there is no overwriting and corruption of the folder and files within. I desperately need to clear my SxS cards but am concerned for the integrity of the footage already taken as I cannot review it. I also have to translate it therefor the need to see it. I am not finding any joy from the Quicktime site as well.

Anybody have an idea how to fix this?

Much appreciated!
