p2cms problem

[snpx]

sorry, if its the wrong forum. i need help.

p2cms tells me, some clips rolled back, when i tried to export.

some of them splt in many small parts and the spanning gets lost.

please help. (macpro, 10.5.2, pcms 1.2.7, quicktime 4.5 and now 7.3.1, raylight 2.0.8)

Could you give a little more description to what you were doing. I have never seen P2CMS divide any clip. Were you working with P2 Cards or Firestore FS-100?

More details needed.

Thanks,

Jan

please excuse my poor english.

my workflow: p2 cards, p2 store offloading with p2cms, beside raylight for editing with finalcut pro 6.0.3.

when the problem occured it was necessary, that i mark serveral clips and export to another hdd.

p2cms gave me the error and i ve noticed, that the clips are devided apart.

4 clips are 8 clips now, marked with a '!' by p2cms.

please ask me for more info needed.

thanks

sorry to ask again for help.

1) is there anyone working with p2cms and apple macpro, 10.5.2, pcms 1.2.7, quicktime 4.5 ?

2) are there any problems or is it working just fine ?

thanks in advance

Quicktime 4.5? You must mean 7.4.5.

If you're running leopard, it is suggested you run QuickTime 7.3.1.

I'm not a Mac guy, so that's about the extent of my help, sorry.

[snpx]

yes sorry, quicktime 7.4.5
i tried quicktime 7.3.1, too. no sucess.
also i installed p2cms on a macbook beside the macpro.
no sucess.

is it leopard? ist it 10.5.2 ?

i would really like jan of panasonic would tell me, whats going wrong.

[snpx]

updated to macosx 10.5.3

nothing changed. no error free export with p2cms. need help, please.

[Jan_Crittenden]

Can you back out of Leopard? I think that may be the source of your problem. It should be resolved eventually on the Apple side but I cannot say when as I do not know.

Best,

Jan

thank you for reply.

maybe leopard is the problem.

but why panasonic says p2cms would work under leopard?

Operating Environment (Macintosh)

Mac OS X 10.4.11 (IntelMac)
Mac OS X 10.5.1, 10.5.2 (IntelMac)
Quick Time 7.4.1 or greater
Macintosh computers such as 2GHz or greater Intel Core Duo processor.
RAM: 1GB or greater
1,024 x 768 or greater display
When you play back AVC-Intra format, it is necessary to download the AVC-Intra decoder.
The P2 driver included with the P2 product must be installed.

i am very sorry.
the database seems to be broken and 'database>rebuild' didnt fix it.
so i thought p2cms and macosx would be the reason.

after building a new database and ingesting, all its fine again :-)

p2cms works with macosx 10.5.2 and even 10.5.3, also 10.4.11
only the rebuilding of the database seems to fail, when there is a problem.

thank you.
best regards
