i downloaded 2 8bg cards to the p2 store. however, it was set in the p.c. setting. i am using macs. what should i do?
 
I thought that "switching" the P2 store from PC to Mac only changed the interface, not format the HD. It's FAT 32 regardless so there wouldn't be a need for it to wipe out your footage in making the switch. However... I do not have a P2 Store so don't try it on my word!!!!! Other thoughts,

Using Boot Camp to get the footage off.
Finding a buddy with a PC to offload.

With patience you will get your footage.
 
No problem, the Mac vs. PC setting is only used when you try to connect to the P2 Store via USB. It doesn't affect the footage at all.
 
Thoff,

should i import the data from the p2 store with a pc? can i drag and drop the footage with my mac to an external hard drive for import later?
 
If you have a PC that you can offload the P2 Store with, it's probably safer. The Mac has a tendency to write to all media and create hidden system files on it, and there is also a unresolved problem with ingesting material from P2 media directly into FCP.

I'm not saying that you will always run into problems when using a Mac to offload, but it seems to happen more than it should.

And yes, you can drag the files to another drive for importing it later.
