Re: [Avid-L2] Copying SxS cards

If you experience speed problems, you need to install: "SxS_Device_v1_05_and_UDF_v2_00_Drivers_Mac" (search the Sony website). Unusable without.

Ok I take back my comment about the speed. The other cards were much faster. Only the one was very slow; it must have been due to the particular file type.

Thanks Scott I'm trying it now. There is a 29 day trial that will get me thru this project. I do see however that speed is not its strong point, even with the SxS reader on thunderbolt. But if it works it's just more billable time ;)

Use the Sony XDCam Browser utility that reads the discs to do the copy. They charge for v.2, but you can still get v. 1.x for free. It will copy the complete drive structure to be properly read at a later time

Hi all L'ers
I'm working on a project that is shooting on SxS cards; XDCam MXF codecs and MP4 codecs, 1080i 50. What is the best practice for copying the cards so the client can take a drive back to France and edit from the copied files on the drive.
