For me, this problem started with the very latest Quicktime update, before which I had no problem importing many hundreds of 24p clips.
If above is a true cause/effect, the solution may be to wait for a subsequent QT version, or, an updated Perian component, which fixed this problem the first time around last year.

Not sure, but reading his post several times makes me wonder if he is transferring media to his internal drive from P2 files already existing on an external. If so, maybe that is an issue too.

Are you capturing to an external hard drive? If not, this may be a potential source of Mac performance issue.

Face Light, Soft Focus, Andy’s Region Blur, Vignette, maybe one of the Glow filters. Andy’s you have to download but the others you could have found by taking 20 minutes to look through the folders you’ve got in your Effects tab.
Cut a scene together and dupe it to a workspace timeline, and PLAY, PLAY, PLAY.
Every incremental adjustment makes it this way or that way towards something that might be cool. -
G-RAID 1TB firewire 800 raid 0 can now be had for cheap. eg:

I use these for DVCPROHD 720 and 1080. Last winter I paid exactly twice as much for the same drive.

Thanks! MXF4Mac may be a great addition to the toolset, I will investigate further.

First of all, I realize tonight as I start to transfer today’s cards, the creation year 03 refers not to 2003 but to 1903. Secondly, as to why I would need the original file creation date to be accurate, well, uhm, because, y’know, oughtn’t it?
It feels a bit odd, even misleading, to archive these files for future generations, and them getting the timeline of digital filmmaking all wrong. They’ll have enough of an archaeological mystery on their hands about why interlacing persisted for nearly a century.
So maybe it’s always been this way and I never noticed before. The Date Modified column is accurate for today’s date, that must be what I always looked at until last night.

I would try trashing the audio renders from the original sequence, then afterward cut/copy the segment for the target sequence.

If you’re running your media drives via firewire also, that could be it. There’s only one firewire bus for all devices to share unless you have an additional firewire card.

And then, for short duration content, there’s this intriguing possibility:
