[MacDV] Re: External Hard Drive Issues & Questions

[animal]

Gordon mention Canon camcorders - so perhaps that's part of the issue 
as I'm using an XM1.  But I'm having no problems with the same Canon 
camcorder and the IBM/Hitachis external or internal - same older 
firewire box.

Not sure this is the same issue, but I tried to use a western digital
as an internal hardrive with a G4 400 (Still on system 9 with Premiere)
and had crashes and never could download video onto the internal
western digital or when it was dumped into an external.  So now I only
buy IBM/Hitachis which work great (4 X 120GB's) and will download dv
both internally and externally using an older external firewire case
and older firewire chip.  Plus they're the only ones that still have a
3 year warranty at stores like OWC and a few other stores.  One day
I'll try a Seagate and or a million hour Maxtor.
