I’m having a hard time finding specs on them too… especially for the jvc, couldn’t find any useful info. For the panasonic, there’s a little info on this site:

Also found another forum that was talking about field monitors and one person said the panasonic was alright but not great for color accuracy.

I don’t think they’re current models. I don’t own them, they’re owned by the computer lab where we’ll be doing color correction. I talked to person who runs the place and she said she bought those monitors pretty cheap, and that she’s heard the jvc is better… but I’m conflicted since I can’t find any info on the jvc.

Yes and yes. There’s the main folder titled the title of the film (this is what I click on to import when I’m in the panasonic p2 import window). Inside the main folder is lastclip.txt and a CONTENTS folder. Inside the contents folder there are 6 other folders, including “clip” and “video” and everything is as it should be in those (meaning, all the clips have corresponding files in the video folder).

I’m not sure if I should make a new thread so I’ll just reply to this one. So, my camera guy put 4 clips on a dvd and gave it to me to try to import (panasonic p2 style). They were all from the p2 card. So I did the same thing I’ve always tried to do. The clips showed up in the import window, and I clicked import all. 2 of them imported, and 2 of them did not (and I got the same error message as before- corrupted or incomplete). And all this with the stats (OS and FCP) that I mentioned above.

Now, I’ve been trying to figure out why 2 of them imported fine and the other 2 did not. The only difference between them is that the two that imported were DV 50, and the two that did not were DV 100 (which apparently is another name for DVCPRO HD according to camera guy)

I’m not sure why these wouldn’t import. I know this is new technology so it’s unknown territory (especially for me.. it’s not my camera). But if anyone has any suggestions for me, let me know! I’m anxious to see how amazing these p2 cards can be.

Well, turns out it might also be that I’ve been using OS X 10.3.9

yikes!
I guess P2 cards were not meant for me

I checked the version of final cut I have and it’s 5.0.1… will check the other numbers too but most likely it’s that. Must upgrade.

Thanks so much!
