I had had some success transcoding AVC HD footage from a Panasonic AF100 earlier, but I thought I was importing from it all day today, only to discover that it was really locked up the whole time (even though there was no indication.)
The imports have seemed to slow to a crawl today.
Does anybody use AVCHD intra footage regularly? I'm using ShotPut to copy all of the files from the cards to the RAID, then I'm opening a project in Avid MC 5.x (not 5.5) and importing... digging directly down into the folder structure to the individual clips. I started this last night and have 2 clips done and am half way through a third. I have 53 clips total from a day long shoot... I'm guessing most of the clips are about 5 minutes each... some much shorter. Very few longer than 5 minutes.
This is on a octo macpro with a PCI based RAID. Snow Leopard. The RAID is getting pretty full... down to just a few dozen gigs on a 12T raid... I know that's bad. Do you think that's the issue?
