Jim Feldspar Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I have shot three 8GB P2 cards at 720P 24N and copied them to a Lacie hard drive. I guess that means that I have 12 partitions left. I want to shoot DVCPRO 50 24P tomorrow onto the P2 card and store it on the same Lacie. I'm just getting started at this so I want to know if it's okay or if since I started storing 720P 24N do I have to stay with that only for this drive? My guess is that they're all P2 files but I don't want to screw anything up. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Schrengohst Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Hello Jim, You can shoot DVCPRO 50 24p.... You can shoot any mode any time, even on the same P2 card, does not matter.... What does matter is that you create a separate folder for each CONTENTS folder and LASTCLIP.txt The LASTCLIP.txt is needed if you have clips that span two cards.

I'm shooting different modes for different projects and storing them until I can edit. My first project is all 720P 24N in two partitions and today is for a different project in DVCPRO 50 so I'm glad that you mentioned that I should have a separate folder for each Contents folder and LASTCLIP.txt. (although I'm using one 8 GB card so I guess that I won't be using the LASTCLIP.txt.) It's great to be able to check Cinematography.com on the way out to a shoot. Thanks again!

You can store whatever on your disks. Gunleik (with 20-something 500gb drives on the shelf from last half year...) -;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Feldspar Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 You can also contact me direct at:info@motionzonehd.com Wow, thanks! Will do. Hi.

Gunleik (with 20-something 500gb drives on the shelf from last half year...) -;) Hey Gunleik, Maybe you shouldn't shoot anything new until you do some editing! Although it sounds like you'll be editing for a long time. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
