[MacDV] Re: 200GB firewire drives

[Mark Glick]

Paul,
I just bought the Western Dig 200gig FW EHD.  It's very buggy.  Maybe I 
got a bad one.  It won't let me export to tape.  It also shuts down 
inexplicably leaving me with a nasty message.  Example:  I was copying a 
file from my internal HD to the EHD. My DV camera (Sony TRV20) was in 
the EHD's 2nd port.  I opened the camera to eject the tape (this had 
nothing to do with the operation going on - I removed no cables and 
didn't turn the power to anything on or off) the EHD unmounted from my 
desk top and displayed the nasty note.

ALL:  I missed what apparently was a discussion on the 200 gig drives.  
Why won't the WD drive support export back to tape?  It will export the 
stills I have embedded in the show but not the digitial video.  The unit 
writes and read back and forth from my internal hard disc fine.
Bad drive?  I'm going to return it as soon as I get my movie and media 
off it.  I hope QT isn't the best I can do.

ALSO:  When I export to QT for compact disc I'm not getting all the 
audio tracks.  Am I doing something wrong?

thanks
