Oh, I see!

So the camera creates partitions everytime, and your guess is that with the 8GB files, they’d link across partitions (because 4GB would be the max. partition size in FAT32, wouldn’t it)?

Thanks a lot for the information. I will be very interesting to see how all this unfolds further down the road.

Barry, do you mean the drive ends up divided into multiple partitions?

If I remember correctly, FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit, doesn’t it? So, would one have to then unload the FW drive after each card?

Sorry if these questions have been answered already. I did search through many posts last night but the workflow subject matter still seems a little sketchy.

Appreciate your help!

Bob, 2 quick questions for you:

– Does the drive have to formatted by the camera in order to be compatible?

– and, if the drive is formatted by the camera, do you know if it will be readable on a PowerMac (for use with Final Cut Pro, for instance)?

Thanks!

Gary…

So the footage can be unloaded as digital files (unwrapped and rewrapped) via FireWire? I saw a demo of this camera but the rep only ever mentioned USB2 for import to Final Cut Pro. Obviously, FW would be far preferable.

Is there any card slot available for a G5 or Mac laptop yet? Or is the camera the only link to the P2 cards as yet?

Thanks,

Ron

Jan, are you saying you used a laptop to edit HD from a P2 HD camera??? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m just new to the P2 stuff (and a Final Cut Pro user, btw).

Can somebody tell me if there’s a card slot that can be installed in a PowerMac yet, that can read the P2 cards?

If not, do you take import the media straight from the camera via USB-2?

Thanks.
