Well for some reason I can now see the Card1 folder in OS 10.8.3. Perhaps this is because I removed the "/" characters before and I hadn't gone back to 10.8.3 to try again until now. I can populate the bin and see the clips and they appear to be H.264 29.97 interlace according to the video column but when I load a clip into the source window I see a frame, probably first frame, and then I get the beach ball of bite me John your not going to get this to work. Or at least that's how I interpret this. I have tried this on both 10.6.8 and 10.8.3 and each time I load a clip I get the beach ball after a second and Avid hangs. The B camera card 1 folder worked fine but now the A camera card 1 folder is doing this. They are two different cameras but the folder structures are similar although I see more things in the sub folder of the A camera. I even tried removing the stuff that differs from the B camera and it still ama linked to volume but I still get the beach ball when loading into the source monitor. I also get the beach ball if I just link to ama volume and go straight to transcode. In the console I see the link to ama volume was successful using the mts avid ama plug in so no forseen error there just an issue once I load a clip into the source monitor or try to transcode. If I unlink a clip I can load it into the source monitor as media offline with no beach ball but that really doesn't help get it done. I do know I can use clip wrap and create .mov's but I was hoping to be more elegant. What are the likely cameras that "DCIM", "MISC" and "Private". Sounds like a cannon 5D or would this be the new 300 models. I'm pretty sure I installed all those ama plug ins. Besides if I didn't have the right one it wouldn't link to ama volume or would it?
