First test - Green screen of death!

I captured footage and did a quick edit, and got green blotches. I used the highest PH setting, 1080 24P, edited with CS4 on a quadcore PC 9550 chip, 4 gigs of ram. I noticed today that when I try to play the video right off the SD card, it stops playback at the spots where the green screen shows up in the edit. I don't have any answers yet! I'm wondering if it's possible to do a low level FAT32 format of my cards that might isolate bad sectors. I assumed the expensive Class 6 Panasonic cards would be bullet proof. They have a 10 year warantee!

did you format the card in camera?

Hey Dave, ever find out what happened? That's so weird the green screens kept popping up. Other than that, very nice footage!

Matt S. - yes, I did format the card in the camera - it was the first thing I did. It looks like it's a Premiere issue - I've seen other threads on it. It plays fine right from the camera. I shot a wedding with it on Sunday (I was a guest, so I couldn't lose) and I will try to load some of that onto Vimeo.

I've gotten the same green frames when importing to FCP on my MacBookPro, on 1080p30 footage. 1080p24 footage imported flawlessly. Then I took the same footage to my office and imported it, and all 1080 formats imported without a problem - 60i, 30p, 24p. I haven't tested any 720 formats yet.

The fact that it has shown up now in Premiere and in FCP doesn't point toward software.
PC and Mac doesn't point toward platform.
Possibly a drive speed issue?

My MacBookPro I was transferring to a FW800 2-drive RAID0.
