OK, I am a looser, I know.. but I am not a MAC person.. Got my buddy's PowerBook G4 1.33ghz with 1.5gigs ram, and Final Cut Pro, version 5.0.4.. I have the HVX-200.. shot about 40 gigs worth of footage... Transfered it to a external HD.. (yes I have the .txt file and the contents, for each P2 card.. all in seperate directorys..

First thing first.. I OPEN FCP..

It asks me "SELECT SEQUENCE PRESET"
I go down to DVCpro HD 720/24p and select it..
I then get an ERROR saying "Codec not found, you may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card" ?????


I press ok, and it does open some sort of project..
NEXT:
I goto IMPORT MEDIA, and select the P2 MEDIA selection..
I see all the thumbnails and timecodes, and file names.. I select one, and try to import it and it gives me another error saying "one or more P2 clips failed to import. Probable incomplete or corrupt files" ?!?!?@Q#$?@#$%?#$%??#@$ AHHHHH!!!!

WHY IS THIS SO HARD?!?!?

PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEEEE :-)
