I've got a volume that was transferred using P2 Genie that has a Contents folder with only an Audio and Video file. No Clip, Icon, Proxy or Voice. Does have a last clip.txt file. As I look at the audio folder is has many .mxf files while the video folder only has 2. Any way to salvage those...

I was setting up an interview using a hard wired PSC milli mic into the external xlr inputs of my HVX. Once set up and even before, there was a noticable "electronic hum" in the background I have not heard before. I swapped everything out and no changes. I could hear the hum disappear as I...

Here's a short compilation of some wildlife footage I shot in California for a doc. Many shots are with the century optics 2x converter. This is just the first of a few visits, so any thoughts are appreciated! Please excuse the old photo on the background... all of this was shot on the HVX...

The dilemna is how best to organize footage so its accessible within Final Cut Pro. I am working on a natural history doc and on the first shoot collected tons of wildlife footage. The challenge is that due to the randomness of wildlife events I commonly had a P2 card with footage of a...

Just returned from a 2 week trip with 450 gigs of 720 30p and 60p footage. quick note on my back up flow from windows to FCP- hope it helps (I avoided using FAT32) Probably this is out there, but I never found this method when searching In field: 1- downloaded P2 to laptop and bus powered...

First attempt with p2 genie and p2 viewer- all worked great, but the fullscreen image quality using P2 viewer on my dell latitude 620 is not as good as I hoped. For example... The edges of people in the forground were very pixelated- in general the whole image looked pixelated. Should I...

I will be backing up my 8gb P2 cards to DL DVD's and an external hard drive when traveling. Any recommendations on DVD brands to use or stay away from? I will be burning from a PC if that makes a difference. Many Thanks!

I plan to use a laptop in the field to download from P2 card and to check footage. Some days will be 10-14 hours without power- just batteries:)) I am looking for an external "backup" drive to take along with me. I have found these three: all are about the same size, but Gtech is an extra...

I am working on a good work flow for upcoming 2 week trip shooting with the HVX, P2 cards and a laptop. At most I will be dealing with around 300 Gigs. My current thoughts are: 1) P2 offloaded to PC laptop and back up to external "travel" drive (NTFS) with P2 Genie 2) Because of a total of 300...

After months of research and reading here just ordered the hvx200! Thanks for all the great reading! As I plan some testing, I wanted to get some other opinions on how 30p deals with motion. Shooting 30PN in some cases would save a lot of logistics, but I don't want to trade off image...
