Dang. Internal formatting worked like a charm. I coulda left it at 3TB, but going back into the BlacX i cut it in half. Working great! I wish my brain and memory worked as good. Thanks again for the reminder tip.

hmmmm…ya, maybe i formatted it internally last time. I’ll pop out a drive and give ‘er a shot. Thanks for helping me pinpoint it…

So, have you gone to X yet??? I’m still on 7.0.3 and it seems dandy for my lowly purposes…

COLIN,

Please pay no attention as to how the previous poster replied to you. He has a head made of bone…and realizes there really is only one “l” in your first name…to which this post attests…

Sorry about that

Collin,

Thanks for your reply here. I didn’t bug your tech support because it wasn’t that big of an issue for me…but maybe if it helps someone else that would be dandy. I must say, you and Divergent Media have probably THE best most responsive tech support for ClipWrap. THANK YOU! I NEVER use FCP’s Log & Transfer method when converting these NX-5 clips anymore. Too many hassles, AND i can’t edit another project using L&T anyway….so ClipWrap is the way to go and i’ve pointed several people to it over this past year.

Thanks again for a very robust product! I can drag the data folders into it from anywhere and i haven’t seen read or write problem yet…EXCEPT now for this pesky DVCProHD thing…which i don’t really need anyway.

Take care!

thanks for helping out a bonehead!

Hey Shane…ya, i’m pretty much a 99% ProRes guy, just went to DVCProHD as a sort of experiment. This is when it’s nice/good to have a repeatable workflow – just do it like normal and all is well. It’s all re-encoded now, and the DVDs should look better.

Are these all SD videos, or is there some HD, too? Do they want them on DVDs (or BluRay, if HD), so they can view them or simply want to get it all off the tape before it disintegrates? I’ve been doing some of this…mostly just really old stuff from VHS, 3/4″, and BetcamSP, but i capture them with FCP as DV Quicktimes, then archive the QTs on BluRay discs (as data, not viewable BluRays). At this point, i’m trusting BluRay discs to last longer than an internal or external hard drive, though it is a fairly slow process, and you only get about 24 GB per disc (unless you spring for the DL BluRays). Then, anytime they want a DVD made from footage, you can easily pull the clips off the BluRay discs, do a little editing, and create DVDs from the archived digital footage.

That was it! Thanks! And i find with only clicking on option, it inserts a clip (scooting the timeline), but if you add shift with option you can place it right on top without inserting/scooting. Thanks again.
