    If you can create a new quicktime file and it works with Quick Looks, then it could be an extended attributes issue. We use xattr to view the attributes of working file and broken files and we can usually change them. We’ve seen this impact a number of things including FCP project files (unknown file save errors for example).

    [Danylo Bobyk] “it’s a QNAP 439 II + Pro (w/ atom processor) but I am transferring using AFP since iSCSI simply isn’t supported for Lion and it seems like the only real option available.”

    It’s the Atom processor. That thing has no offloads either. So you have an embedded processor (similar to what would be in an iphone) trying to drive a gigabit port, AFP and Disk IO. It’s not going to go fast.

    I think the Qsnap is probably the limiting factor. If I recall correctly, those are pretty low powered. We had one in here for iSCSI testing and it wasn’t very fast. I’d try connecting to another mac as a test.

    So in this case, it almost sounds like a driver issue (I don’t think heating anything is a good idea).
    If it was a USB 1.1/2.0 issue, the HUB would have resolved it. So it’s more likely, you are somehow missing a kext. If you put the thing on a working machine, see which kext loads (kextstat) and then see if you are missing it in /System/Library/Extensions. Maybe you have something that is old and is grabbing the thing. It could be a leftover from 10.5

    VLC transcodes doesn’t it? Can’t you save it out as something else?

    That sounds fishy to me. what if you put a USB 2.0 HUB in between? It should handle the translation. Does it work then?

    Small Tree has an FCoE driver written. As soon as there are widely available FCoE targets, we’ll probably release.

    Hi Luke
    Optimizing networks is pretty much what we do over at Small Tree. We’ve started moving 10Gb to the desktop now and will ship our first complete 10GbaseT solutions this month. Perhaps you should give us a call.

    You can use Avid Media Access to point at a given NAS volume and it “just works”. There’s no special action required. (and you get the added bonus of not transcoding and re-ingesting everything into Avid)
