How long does that P-5000 take to copy a 4GB card?

Barry,

Hm, it took over 12 minutes. I guess it goes through more verify scheme or something. It reads also playback okay in the P2 import window of FCP.

about iPod60 (firewire)
 

One certain problem I run into using iPod is that when I connected it via Fiwire to Mac, it tries to be recognized on iTunes no matter how you set it up. Then if I make mistake and click on "use this iPod for this computer" then it seems to write some tag in the volume. That could have been the reason why I had some problems before to reconnect the iPod to HVX200. Also, right at this moment, the iPod won't unmount from Mac's desktop. Try to unmount then it restarts itself and come back mounted. Safely disconnecting would be by shutting the computer down or copy all of the files and reinitialize it.

At this moment, iPod still is the fastest to make backups from HVX200, tho.
