Ok, here's the deal. I've been importing P2 as a freelance AC/P2 loader at least a few times a week for the last 2 years, so I'm aware of how to do it. The reasion I'm writing this is something happened to my G5 where it know longer works.
On set I use either a rented Powerbook or a Macbook Pro with Duel Adapter for import into FCP. If I get the bid on the edit, I then take those Quicktimes and edit them on my decked out G5 at my studio. I rarely import directly with my G5, I fact I can't remember the last time I did, but I know I have.
In recent months I've upgraded to Leopard, downloaded new P2 drivers, and a few days ago there was a FCS2 update that I did. for the first time in a long time I tried to import P2 via HVX and firewire and It did not show up in the "log and transfer" window. The cards do show up on the desktop and in finder. I even tried copying the files to my G5 and import from there. Are there any known issues with FCS2, Leopard, HVX, and/or P2 driver compatibility that I'm unaware of?
