Batchcapturing HDV fails

I've just finished logging some hot shots of helicopters, F-16 fighters going low-pass etc.. To reduce the time I have to spend sitting by the Mac, I thought I'd log every clip I want, and do a batchcapture.
The camcorder I used, a Canon XL H1, must be used as the deck, since I don't have anything else aviliable.
The camcorder starts looking for some timecode - and FCP says it fails to find enough preroll - even when it's in the middle of the tape! There is PLENTY of room - timecode is OK, tape is OK, no errors in either sound or image.
Can anyone please explain me what I can do?
I've tried disabling and enabling different settings for dropped frames and timecode break. Nothing really happens..
A bad solution for now is to add about 3-5 frams to the in-point, but it's rather random when FCP will give it a go - and I will then be needed by the computer to make sure all goes well. Three tapes with material - wahoo! Batch has never been this tedious.

Are you capturing to your OS HD? or are you using an external HD?
Next as you probably know, HD footage takes up a bit more space than SD if you are running out of hard drive space that could be a factor as to why you are getting a general error message.
the properties of the clip don't match that is because it never did capture the entire piece of footage that you originally selected. basically the timecode in your log does not match the time code of the partial file that was actually captured.
only one channel of audio? hmmm... sounds like a capture setting or you only have one channel of audio on your tape. and the fact that the file was never fully captured would as be a factor as to why you have no info as to no tape set or reel info.
double check your tape to see if there is any break in timecode... simple as it may seem that is a problem that is sometimes overlooked. cuz if you have a break in time code and the system registers that you are bringing in an entire day of footage instead of one hour, boom it will stop capturing as well...
hope this may assist a lil bit

  • FCP Fails on Export of HDV Footage

    Here's my problem in a nutshell: I have a 75 minute edit that will not export from the timeline. I have 2 tracks of video - the first track is HDV (1080i60 - imported from JVC GYHD 100U), the second is a mix of HDV b-roll (1080i60 - imported from Sony HDR-HC7) and .png and .tiff images along with some motion lower 3rds. Everything has been rendered and plays back fine in the canvas. Any time I try to export footage from the timeline it fails with "General Error" or occasionally FCP crashes. Please see below for all the different export types and methods, none of which have proven successful.
    *Export Options*
    1. QuickTime Movie - as a reference movie - current settings
    2. QuickTime Movie - as a self contained movie - current settings
    3. QuickTime Movie - changed to ProRes422
    4. Using Compressor - MPEG2 (DVD Best Quality 90 minutes - to go into DSP)
    5. Using Compressor - as a ProRes422 file
    6. Using Compressor - as DV NTSC Anamorphic
    *Steps Taken to Resolve Issue*
    1. Disk Utility to repair permissions on boot drive - permissions repaired
    2. Disk Warrior and Drive Genius on all drives - no problems reported
    3. Trashed FCP preferences
    4. Deleted render files - then export without re-rendering
    5. Deleted render files - re-render and then export
    6. Exported footage in smaller chunks - still fails
    7. Exported only V1 - still fails
    8. Created a new project - copy and pasted contents from timeline and then export
    9. Created a new project - this time with timeline as ProRes 422 and then export (this last one is currently writing, but as you can tell I'm kind of clutching at straws here...)
    The only export success I have had is audio only to AC3, video so far just fails.
    Next stop is to print to tape in two parts and then re-import and try and export again. The ultimate goal is to output to DVD.
    If there are any suggestions or if there is anything I've overlooked, I'd be grateful for some input.

    Elated - I have found the problem and, more importantly, a solution.
    While converting the original footage to ProRes, Compressor complained about one of the segments (the JVC camera records in around 18 minute chunks) I was trying to import. Sure enough there were some visual glitches on playback but FCP never seemed to care, but Compressor refused to convert it to ProRes.
    Which got me thinking.... back to the timeline I went. Knowing which segment had caused Compressor problems, I isolated it, and cut out all footage with distortion on it. I had used b-roll footage to cover the glitches anyway, but this time I used the blade tool to remove the offending video on V1 even though it was being obscured by V2.
    As if by magic, and to my great relief, the footage rendered and as we speak DVD Studio Pro has just spat out my first burn of the DVD (mind you it did take close to 6 hours to encode the footage to MPEG2!)
    So there you go folks, corrupt video footage, even though it isn't playing was enough to halt my export and suck two days from my life. Lesson learned.

  • OnLocation CS5 fails to record Canon HV30 HDV footage

    Hi Guys,
    I've recently upgraded from CS4 to CS5 and am running into problems with OnLocation and HDV video capture from my Canon HV30 (yes, it's not the best camera in the world... but it's what I have to work with currently).
    Essentially anytime I try to hit the record button in OnLocation while my camera is in HDV mode (or HDV30, HDV24) no recording is started in OnLocation.   However, if I'm in DV mode I'm able to successfully capture video from my camera.  In CS4 I had no problems at all with HDV capture.
    I've tried this on my laptop (which also shows a WebCam as input) as well as my desktop (which shows a TV Tuner as an additional input) and both produce the exact same results.
    Currently I'm just planning to roll back and use OnLocation CS4 since it actually worked for me... but I wouldn't have expected this to be a problem in CS5.
    Does anybody have any idea's to try?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    I had the same trouble with a Canon XH-A1 HDV camera. Here is how I fixed it:
    Open Adobe Premiere.
    Create an HDV Project. I doesn't matter what kind (1080i60, 1080f30, etc.).
    Open the "Capture" function (PCs: press F5; Mac, something like "file" "capture").
    In the top right of the Capture window, click the "Settings" tab (next to "Logging").
    Under the "Capture Settings" section, click "Edit"
    For the "Capture Settings" menu, select "HDV".
    Click "OK"
    Close the capture window.
    Close Adobe Premiere. (Save the project if it asks you).
    Now open OnLocation.
    Select the appropriate camera (i.e. a Canon camera instead of your Web cam).
    Capture away.
    I'm not sure if it matters that your Premiere project be the same type (1080f30 vs. 1080i60) as your camera settings.

  • Unable to capture DV footage from HDV camera

    I am trying to capture from a dv tape using the Sony HVR-Z1E, but I keep getting the following message:
    Unable to initialize capture device and device control........ This might also happen if you play DV footage in an HDV device.
    I have tried changing the settings on the camera but to no avail.

    Hi James,
    This is a good workaround for curing your camera recognition problem:
    First, check that your Easy Setup / Timeline / Camera or Deck Settings are all exactly the same, then making sure your camera or deck is in VTR mode, try to capture again.
    Still not working?
    Check whether iMovie recognises your camera.
    FCP uses a different form of QT than iMovie for capturing, so if the camera works in iMovie (or if it's listed in System Profiler) but not FCP, it obviously means your Mac can see the VTR but FCP can't, so you need to do this QuickTime fix.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852
    Follow Apple's instructions carefully and you should have things running in no time - it's quite harmless!
    But if the Camera / Deck isn't recognised by iMovie or System Profiler, try resetting the Firewire Bus . . . Turn off the Mac and disconnect the power and all Firewire cables. Leave it for 30 mins then connect back up.
    Still not working? Try a different Firewire cable.
    Failing all this, try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit). The method varies from machine to machine, so visit the Apple site and search for it in support.
    Don't use iMovie for capturing - it doesn't give you a timecode and that's very important.
    Let us know how you get on!

  • HELP! No longer able to capture HDV in FCP 6

    I had a seamless FCP workflow using my Canon XH-A1 and FCP 6. I always connect my camera and power it up first before starting FCP. My settings were perfect, then about a week and a half ago FCP would no longer capture HDV from the camera. I tried redoing the easy setups: HDV > HDV:1080i60. Then I tried all the other variations. I tried trashing the preferences and restarting my computer and all that. Then I tried to see if Toast 10 would recognize the HDV camera to capture... no. But all works fine when set to DV mode. Everything about this situation seemed to have pointed to the fault being with my camera, so I sent it off to canon to check it out ($$$). Today I borrowed a friends Sony HDV that has worked fine before and it too failed. FCP is not recognizing the HDV camera. In an act of desperation, I installed iMovie and opened it up, I connected the camera... wth, it works!?! I am now convinced that there is something not right with FCP. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!!

    I figured out the problem!!! It was "Rosetta". Hopefully this issue will help someone else in the future!
    When I upgraded to Intel Mac Pro from G5, many plugins were not supported. About a month and a half ago I opened an older project of mine and had problems rendering some vital sequences with several plugins from the G5. After going through every plugin I had and reinstalling them one by one, many plugins still would not work. My solution was to use Rosetta with FCP...
    I had not captured any HDV media since turning Rosetta on for FCP, and I guess forgot it was even on. I clicked on the FCP App and hit "command + i" for info, unchecked Rosetta, and instantly my HDV is capturing perfect again!
    I wish I could use an abundance of prolific and explicit vocabulary words to express knuckleheadedness of my inability to not figure this out sooner...
    ROSETTA was the CULPRIT of this issue!

  • Error message when adding a filter to DV and HDV footage

    Hi,
    I do not understand why I am getting an error message saying,
    " The effect 'refraction, twirl, insect eye' failed to render: Your Hardware cannot render at the requested size and depth"
    Can some help me out?
    I have a first generation Mac Pro 2..66 with 8gb of ram and the Ati radeon and Nvidia graffics card. This is a high end computer, why can't it render a video filter like refraction and son on?
    I tried re-installing FCP and erasing those files in the preferences folder, but still not luck.
    To make matters worse the render works on my MacBook Pro (1st gen.) and not on the Mac Pro quad core?
    There must be something going on in my settings, is anybody else having this problem?
    The footage I am working with are 2 formats, one is DV Ntsc shot with a DVX 100 and the other one I was working with HDV footage.
    Why am I not able to render with the hardware power of this monster computer.
    Thanks for you help,

  • Long HDV and XDCAM clips through Final Cut Server

    Hi,
    I know that I could post this in Compressor and/or Quicktime and/or Leopard/Tiger Forums, but as this problem it`s causing my Final Cut Server to not working well, I think it makes sense to post here.
    To resume: HDV and XDCAM clips (all on original codec, only xdcam transferred to mov in xdcam transfer) with file size bigger than exactly 4GB always FAILS in "Final Cut Server"/"Compressor alone in ANY machine installed from scratch"/"Anything that uses Quicktime". Source and Destination being localy or networked. DV or DV50 can get bigger than that, I`ve never seen this error with DV`s codecs.
    I had seen this problem before I bought final cut server. When I was transcoding our interviews for transcription. We always worked with BETA SP and captured in DV or DV50. We were starting to go to HDV and now to XDCAM and this error has started to appear.
    I have a "proxy" made a year ago from a HDV and it`s original has 8GB. I tried this file again and as I expected didn`t work. In ANY computer with any installations with only the latest updates. I`ve remembered that I was using Tiger at this time, and Quicktime/Tiger/ProApps had a old version.
    My two cents are that some update from Tiger/Leopard/QuickTime/ProApps made this happen.
    So ANY HDV/XDCAM file bigger than 4GB it`s FAILING in ANY system. (Tiger or Leopard, With or without FCP and QT PRO, Installed from scratch and updated every thing).
    Some tests I`ve made:
    -Compressor works with this two codecs to lower res in TIGER and with QuickTime Version 7.4.0 and LOWER. (had to be tested, but I think that was my version of QT when I managed to make the proxy of this two codecs).
    -Compressor doesn`t work on any system with QT above 7.4.0.
    -CATDV (http://www.squarebox.co.uk/) version 6 can make proxy versions of this two codecs in TIGER ONLY! They already know of this problem and CATDV 7 works on both.
    -Compressing in compressor with H.264 (same codec as the FCSvr proxy) BUT without changing the resolution, size and etc. Works OK in both Tiger and Leopard.
    -Exporting through QT works in ANY system BUT I loose TC, so it`s not an option (and I can`t input this workflow in FCSvr without using compressor).
    -Exporting from FCP as QuickTime Movie with H.264 doesn`t work on Both (Tiger and Leopard).
    -Exporting fro FCP as QuickTime Conversion with H.264 works but as exporting from QT I loose TC and can`t input this into FCSvr workflow.
    Error message are always: "QuickTime error = -50" or "QuickTime error: corrupted data" (and of course it`s not corrupted because it`s used - even in FCP to edit - and opened viewed, catdv can do proxy and everything).
    I`m surprised not to see anyone freaking out about this issue... I don`t think that It`s only me.
    This is some problems that I came across while trying to find a solution:

    Thank You all in advance.

    Hi Chará!
    We should, but I think the others will be disappointed eheheheh.
    It doesn`t matter what version of Leopard I`m using (right know I`m using Leopard Server 10.5.6, but this issue has happened even with 10.4 if QT is updated and all updates of 10.5 up, as I`
    ve mentioned above).
    What file size are those clips that are longer than 10min?
    I really don`t get, how it`s possible that just the two of us has HDV and XDCAM files with file size longer than usual? Maybe people that do interviews don`t like to record the entire interview and when capturing those clips would be under this file size limit? Or maybe we are the only ones in the whole world that transcode longer HDV and XDCAM clips (it`s funny that it doesn`t even need to be FCSrv, with only ONE machine and compressor this issue happens all the time).
    I`m convinced that I have to install a Tiger version in a virtual machine with compressor and doesn`t update anything to test this further on. But I`m certain that with TIGER and CATDV this works ok! And I think that CATDV uses QT engine to do this transcodes.
    This is too much of a mystery to me. Maybe it`s time to spend 24+ hours with apple in a international call and probably not getting anywhere.
    I`m only posting this here in FCSrv forum because this issue it`s must worse when you have hundreds of clips with this issue and if you bought the package it doen`t matter if it`s a problem with QT+OSX or whatever, apple has to solve it for FCSrv use.
    Do you reckon?
    Let`s get in touch through email: lucas at rwcine.com.br

  • Print To Video HDV dropping out

    When I try to print to video from the computer to a Sony HDV 1080i deck it goes and conforms all the video then I start the process and it works fine until a certain spot and will go to black then back on again etc.
    I've tried this a few times and at the same spot will get the problem so I checked to make sure it wasn't the tape, I threw away the rendered files and re-rendered them again. I even saved the project to a quicktime movie which played back looks fine. I tried to use the quicktime file and it stops at the same place everytime.
    Any suggestions?
    I even went and rendered all of my sequences, mixed down the audio etc.
    thanks in advance!
    Just recently went from FCP 5.1.2 to 5.1.4 I did another project last week and the print to video worked out fine I was wondering if this was a bug in 5.1.4?
    Using FCP 5.1.4

    conforming and decoding the mpeg2 HDV stream seems to be the hardest thing for the computer to do. Enough RAM, and a beefy video card will help. I think it's a miracle every time I can get a batch of HDV clips to sucessfully capture. Cutting doesn't go too bad, but I have found outputting native HDV to be nearly impossible.
    We had about 3 hours worth of 10-15 minute segments to output, and it took close to 3 weeks of constant effort, outputting one sequence at a time. It would black out, stop playing back, freeze up, put all kind of breaks in the timecode even if you pre-stripe the tape. And all the while it would never, ever alert or abort on dropped frames, timcode breaks, etc.
    One of the big problems was rendered material. I used a page peel transition (I know, I know, it was a video cookbook, gimme a break) in the HDV segments. I took the time to set up each one with an image for the "back" of the page from the context of the segment. Rendered playback from the timeline looked fine, but as soon as I went to tape, the background of each peel would display whatever image I had most recently applied - all of them - but only on output. I wound up having to replace the backgound of each one one at a time, export each transition as a self-contained movie, bring it back in as clips and re-sync it with the surrounding media. Luckily there were only about 150 of them to do. All this I started doing after the first solid week of failed output attempts. Even then, any rendered material in my sequences would trigger the dreaded dropouts, freeze frames, skips, and substituted rendered material. So after another couple days of attempts, I wound up exporting self-contained movies of every minute of my output, re-editing them back into sequences, and so finally I was able to output to tape in 10-minute chunks, and it only took 5 or 10 tries for each one. The only reason I really needed to go to tape in the first place was because I found impossible to transcode the HDV to SD mpeg for DVD without field artifacts, and abysmally unacceptible quality. So I recaptured the HDV as DV using the deck's downconvert, which seemed to be the only thing it could do well.
    I believe that a faster computer with more RAM and a better video card would have made a big difference. Newer versions of FCP have probably solved a lot of the issues I had with the rendered material. Even so, there are aspects of the long-GOP, mpeg-2 stream aspects of HDV and the way that it negatively affects timecode, deck control, and capture and output, that make the format my last choice for professional editing.
    For your situation, I'd recommend exporting a self-contained movie, maybe even try AIC, although it'll have to reconform back down to HDV for FW HDV output. Try all your various Mac voodoo steps before starting output - trash prefs, repair permissions, power-cycle everything. You can borrow my feathered headdress and tortoise-shell rattle if you want.
    Sorry I couldn't provide a more definitive answer for you...

  • How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card to Final cut Pro 5.1.4

    How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card (recorded with the Sony HVR Z 7E) to Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 – is this possible at all?
    I managed to import the files to Premiere, but it was just a test. I am working at a very huge documentary project with Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 thats why I would prefere not to change the program or the version.
    Simply exporting from Premiere back to final cut is also very complicated.
    Thanks for any ideas.

    First, copy the card to a hard drive connected to your fcp workstation.  I always back up all card based media at least 2 or three times.  All hard drive will eventually fail.  It's a question of when, not if.
    I'm not familiar with this particular camera, but examine the contents of the copied files and see if you can find any .mov files.  You can try importing these directly into fcp.
    If you don't, you can try something like clipwrap
    http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap
    or
    Magic Bullet Grinder
    http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/
    But, I'd really advise upgrading to at least fcp6 or ideally fcp7 if you can find a copy.  HDV is a problematic format.  Although you can certainly work with it and it's a fcp approved format, converting your media to prores would make your life much easier.

  • Loss of HDV support after latest Adobe patches...

    I recently applied the latest patches that were released for AE, PPRo and a few of the other applications in the master suite and after the patches were applied I lost the abilty to edit HDV in PPRo and in AE.  In PPro, it actually grayed out the option to deactivate the product, which makes it seem like it has somehow deactivated my product, but in AE the deactivate option is still there. I have read that if you are running the trial version HDV is not supported, so I am thinking it somehow deactivated my products.  Anyone else experience this problem?

    Skeeze:
    Your problem may be related to this issue, mentioned in Todd Kopriva's blog, Region of Interest.
    If you downloaded the After Effects 9.0 trial, then updated to After Effects 9.0.1, and then activated the application with a serial number after purchasing a license (all in exactly that order), then the After Effects 9.0.2 update will fail to update your third-party content, like the Cycore (CC) effect plug-ins. It appears that uninstalling the third-party content and then restarting the application will cause the updated third-party content to be installed correctly.
    Please note that support for HDV, AVCHD and other MPEG-based formarts relies on technologies licensed from third party developers, and which are installed as part of the third party content package. So I would definitely start by trying this.

  • Export to mov file failing

    My attempts to export my sequence in mov format using compressor keep failing. I am getting an error in the log that reads, "Failed to create movie markers." I can't figure out what is going wrong.
    Any ideas??

    Thanks for your input. I think the main issue is that i originally captured the video using another peice of software. These files were 1440x1080 so i was getting 'letter boxing' on the left and right. After doing a lot of reading, i now understand the importance of selecting the correct project setting
    Leading on from this, I'm about to do some more filming and have hired a HDV camcorder (Sony HVR 27p - PAL). It's 1080i and can film in interlaced (25 or 50fps) or progressive. (25fps)
    My questions are:
    The required output playback file (mov file format) needs to be progressive. Should i film in progressive as well, or stick with interlaced and change the output settings when creating the output file?
    If i stick with interlaced, do i film in 50 or 25 as the output file needs to be 25fps?
    Although the camera captures 16:9, the pixels are 1440x1080 (which by all accounts in usual with HDV cameras.) Do i select a project setting whose setup is 1440x1080 or do i use 1720x1080?
    Thanks a lot for your help so far.

  • HDV 1080p30 very slow when files are from Shake

    Hi,
    I have a totally tricked out 8 core Mac pro with 8 GB ram and a 1 TB drive (mostly empty). I'm using the Latest FCP. Recently, I've been editing some HD video that I've shot and have been quite pleased with the performance of the machine/software. However, I am experiencing a weird problem. I also have Shake, which I am using to do some composting and, relevantly, remove a small amount of camera vibration from my footage. (It works great.)
    However, any files that I export from Shake, using (as best as I can tell) the exact same file formats and codecs that my imported Raw (unprocessed in Shake) video is. That is: they are quicktime files, Using HDV 1080p30fps, with 29.97 FPS "drop frame" codec. While the raw imported files work great, the files I export from Shake and put into my timeline result in a "Spinning Ball" whenever I do anything at all to them- play them, move the timeline around, cut, apply a filter etc,. What am I overlooking?

    Hi Kunal
    Let me explain to you how this  works
    When you archive the data, it moves out of the database into a flat file which is latter stored on optical disk/hard disk etc depending upon your archiving solution
    When archving is done, it also creates an index ( depending upon how your have configured the object) This index is of  few common fields of the archived objects . This is than stored within SAP. When you call SARI you seen this indexed data from SAP and hence the response is quick. At this point it does not get the data from your archives
    When you call it through the transaction FBL.. , it needs all the fields ( which are not avl in the indexed data ) and hence SAP has to go to the archives to fetch it
    This results in slowing it down.
    Now how slow will it be is a difficult question for us to answer as a lot denpends upon your archiving solution and how much data are you trying to fetch
    As far as memory problem is concerned you need to analsye the dump as to where ( on what buffer parameter is it failing) Depending upon that you will have to either increase memory parmeters OR reduce the amount of data your a fetching
    Thanks

    few days ago.  Previously, it worked.

    Thank you for your suggestions and questions. 
    I continue having problems exporting (sharing) to the QuickTime format.  Upon hitting the "Save" button, PE7 mostly crashes and yields the message, " Adobe Premiere Elements.exe has stopped working..."  Occasionally, it will finish the rendering process, but when I play back the video on QuickTime, it goes haywire: the video starts out playing just fine then goes inverted, images begin to scroll left, etc..
    When I hit the "save" button to begin the export (sharing) process, I always get a warning, "Adobe Premiere Elements is running very low on system memory..."
    I have tried two customized QuickTime presets:
    Frame width: 1440
    Frame height: 1080
    also tried
    Frame width: 1280
    Frame height: 720
    Codec:H.264
    Frame rate: 29.97
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD anamorphic 1080 and also tried Square Pixels
    Audio AAC 44kHz Stereo
    My Project settings: General:
    Editing mode: HDV 1080i
    Timebase: 29.97
    Frame size: 1440 x 1080
    Display format: 30 fps Drop-Frame Timecode
    Audio Sample Rate: 48Khz
    Here are some of my system stats:
    Camcorder: Sony HDR-SR5
    Video Signal: AVCHD format 1440x1080/60i
    Windows Vista (32 bit system)
    Adobe Premiere Elements 7 (stored on my C-drive)
    C-drive capacity: 78.4GB of free space and 289 GB total capacity
    The video files that I am editing are saved on an external hard drive with 344 GB free space and 931 GB total capacity
    Computer (purchased in 2007): HP Pavilion Media Center m8120n TV PC with Intel Core 2 Quad Processor, 4GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series graphics card.
    If you notice any issues with the above, your comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

  • Exporting a sequence if a portion of the video is corrupt? (HDV)

    I have a single camera project where it seems as if a second or two of the footage (HDV) is corrupt. The frames just jump and the sound is completely screwed up. Whether it's the tape or the transfer, it's not important enough for me to investigate that portion further. MPEGStreamclip opens the file fine and doesn't complain.
    Final Cut just won't export a QuickTime file of it. It keeps erroring out once it gets to that portion of the timeline, and a large chunk of the footage that it exports is completely pixellated, even though it looks perfectly fine in the timeline itself.
    I've tried:
    1) Export -> QuickTime Movie (current settings, self-contained)
    2) Export -> QuickTime Movie (current settings, recompress all frames)
    3) Export -> QuickTime Movie (uncompressed 10-bit, self-contained, recompress all frames)
    4) Export -> Using Compressor (JPEG 100%)
    All of these methods fail.
    How can I get this sequence to export without failing?
    Thanks.

    If MPEG Streamclip reads it ok, couldn't you export it to QuickTime with the video set to the right HDV codec, then replace the media in FCP?
    I re-compressed the clip in MPEGStreamclip using the Apple Intermediate Codec and re-connected the media without incident. I'll find out tomorrow morning if it exported properly overnight.
