Hi All:

I am sitting with a client. OSX 10.4.11, MBP 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo, FCP 6.02, QT 7.4.5. Any time we try to log and transfer P2 footage, all clips under 10 minutes long come in fine, all clips over 10 minutes fail to transfer. If we break up the over 10 minute clips into smaller than 10 minute chunks, they transfer fine.

I know that this is part of that stupid DRM issue that Apple has been having with QT, is there a fix yet? He has done clean installs of OS, FCP, QT and everything, yet the problem still persists.


Any fixes or solutions?

Any chance the 10+ minute clips are coming off of an MS-DOS formatted drive? In that case move them over to an OS X journaled format drive first.

You nailed it Noah! I figured it out right after I posted this. This client is a PC user and FCP newbie and didn't even understand that you should always format a new drive for OSX.

Thanks,

Dan
