Duplicating P2 Cards to P2 Cards

[Jeff B]

Is there a way to copy files from one P2 card to another using the HVX200 or HPX500?

1. I wanted to share some footage I shot on P2 with a fellow news crew today.

2. I accidentally shot some work footage on the same P2 as some family video and I want to put the family video on another P2 card so I can archive the P2 cards into two separate Mac hard drives.

1. No. Use a laptop instead. An HPG20 could do it as well.

2. Use P2 CMS. It can move or archive some clips while not archiving others.

Thanks Barry. I will use P2CMS to archive. The reporter used her laptop to copy the P2 card. Bummer we can't copy on the camera... we were at a brush fire and she had to go to her ENG truck to copy.
