I am currently trying to dump archived footage back on a P2 card from a laptop The card reader on the laptop is herendously slow, so I started dumping to the cards via USB 2.0 and the HVX. The first few times worked like a charm however now when I try it, the computer chrashes and gives me this screen

already tried reinstalling the HVX drivers and even did a system restore to the date that it did work and nothing.
any ideas or fixes?
Thanks

Hi,

Are you doing a Copy and Paste? Try instead to Copy to. Cntl C will put the memory into overload. But under Windows Explorer, highlight the Contents folder, then another dropdown option will appear, Copy to folder, then show it where to copy to.

You are overloading the memory of yourmachine which is why you are haviing the crash and burn. Done it myself.

Good luck,

Jan
 
My P2 Viewer has done the exact same thing. The scary thing was that I had just opened the program and had only one virtual card with a 40 mb clip :-|
 
Jan, Ctrl-C doesn't put the files into memory, it just builds a list of files that will need to be copied. It takes a negligible amount of memory. If Ctrl-C was the cause of the problem, Windows would crash when you copy, not when you paste.

I would try reformatting the card in the camera, and disable virus checking for the removeable drive if you have such a utility installed.
 
Using drag and Drop to copy files. Virus Protection is disabled but still running in the background.

Could this be due to a lack of virtual memory from not enough hard drive space??

If so would hooking up an external HD to the computer via USB 2.0 help??

No, you cannot place the swap file on a removeable drive.

What else do you have connected through USB? Is the camera connected directly to a motherboard USB port, or a hub? If it isn't connected directly, try doing that. Also try disconnecting any unnecessary USB peripherals, they all draw some current and take up some bandwidth -- if the amount of current available from the USB bus is exceeded, Windows will choose one of the peripherals for shutdown/disconnect.
 
Got it fixed, had to go to the task manager and shutdown anything not critical then tried again. Thanks for all the help.
