The brand is Aone. Not expensive, and I have had some that wasn´t verified properly and therefore trashed. But I thought that a properly done verification process should be trusted …
I complained about these DVDs to the dealer. He thought that the SuperDrive in the new MacBook Pro could be the culprit, since he had this experience with his own MacBook. Could this be true? Can this drive be tested?
And talking about faulty hard disk drives: of the four Iomega 1 TB drives I have purchased, only one is still alive. Yes, everything will go wrong, given time …

Well, you don´t need to create a subclip.
Just set in- and outpoint at least 1 sec. in the start to decrease the length of the clip, and add to sequence …

The handles has to be in the original clip. If you have a 10 seconds clip and want a one seconds transition on start and end, you have to create an 8 sec. subclip and bring that into the sequence.

I have tried to first copy to the internal drive. No luck.
This DVD-try is not longer attractive to me. Slow, unreliable.
Right now I have mirrored 1 TB hard disk drives. Tape solutions seem to have high initial costs, even the tapes are quite expensive. It is easy to store the tapes elsewhere, but an extra hard drive stored elsewhere is just as easy, isn´t it?
And in the field – one or two USB-disks with 320 GB (WD Passport) are enought for even two weeks of travel, at least for me.
I have found a company in my area that specializes in recovering CDs/DVDs/HDDs. Some $90 for examining a DVD – but I have more than 10 🙁

They were properly verified, no scratching, no breakage.
Quite disappointing that technique is so unreliable – I have had several HDD breakdowns …
So I will look into your suggested line-up of backup solutions.

Some of these DVDs may be seen in XDCam Transfer I try to import smaller subclips, finally finding the bad frames. This means that the long clips (20 min) will be reduced to some ten minutes. This is not good, but I have no option so far …

Fairly new to HD video, I cannot quite understand what the XDR can do for me. I understand that it is better to use less compression, but how great is the change?
Normal clips with EX1 are very good, but dark shots show quite a lot of noise. Are noise in general the reason to invest in gear like XDR? – And it also comes with more investments, like faster drives and connections – in my case also a Mac Pro …
Is it so much better that you immediatly see it in your clips?
Or is it more like “I work with undcompressed video” and the broadcasting company says “Then we are interested, of course”.
And is it obvious when you see the final product – a DVD, a Blu-ray disk or a broadcast?

Choose the folder above the BPAV folder.
FYI: There are a lot of posts regarding this “problem”. See the related threads below.

I still use XDCAM Transfer Tool 2.1.0.
First open XDCAM Transfer Tool.
Then choose “Import Sony XDCAM” in FCP.Doing like this, I get only one clip. Each will get a “-1” in the end of its name, but I do not mind …

Thanks, Scot.
It looks nice. I will order one. Hope to get it before my “rain trip” to Norway …
