Creating DMG out of P2 Cards Any Downside?

My students are using a PowerPC G5 for off loading P2 Cards. They have all watched Shane Ross's P2 video from the Cow but they still put card folders inside other card folders and they create a mess. I'm trying to prevent their stupidity the best I can. That in and of itself is a full time job.
We have P2 card readers (Panasonic AJ-PCD20) at the transfer stations. I would like them to create a DMG of their card to help prevent them from messing with the card structure. Is this good practice or is their some downside that I'm missing.
My idea was to use Disk Utility. They insert the card and after it mounts highlight it in Disk Utility and create a DMG on the students external HD via FW800.
I'm open to all suggestions. We just don't have intel machines so P2CMS doesn't help in this instance. No more P2 Genie as well. I just want to make the workflow more idiot proof. I spend a lot of my time doing that here.
Our OS is 10.5.8 using FCP 6.0.6 and quicktime 7.6.4

They have all watched Shane Ross's P2 video from the Cow
Yaaaay!
but they still put card folders inside other card folders and they create a mess.
Boooo! Time to bring out the Board of Education. They watched, but are choosing to ignore it. Stupid stupid. If they get messed up, then it is their fault and they have to deal with the mess. But still, severe hand slapping is in order.
I'm trying to prevent their stupidity the best I can. That in and of itself is a full time job.
I have no doubt.
Get them P2 offloading software. Shotput P2. It makes folders and backs up the cards with one click. Idiot proof!

Good call...that'll work. DOWNSIDE? yes...The REEL NAME for the card is the folder that you store the CONTENTS in. These need to be UNIQUE names, so that you can track footage if you ever need to reimport. This is a VERY BASIC of organization that you need to teach. Organization is KEY, and you need to drive that into their thick headed skulls that if they aren't organized, they'll open all sorts of doors to disaster. Maybe one of them needs to before they get it.
Drill the right way into their heads. Drill drill drill. FAIL them if they do it wrong. Be hard arsed about it. Treat them like employees. If they messed this up badly in real life, they are fired. If they mess it up in class...fail them.
Threaten that...tell them that they are now in the real world and messing up minorly happens, but major screw up costs them jobs.

  • My apple id cannot create with out credit card

    my apple id cannot create with out credit card

    To create an Apple ID without a credit card, you need to follow the instructions in this link:
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204034
    Follow the instructions under "If you don't have an Apple ID" to create an Apple ID with None as the payment option.
    If you are using an existing Apple ID, you must put a credit card on the account before you can change it to None, as the instructions under "If you already have an Apple ID" indicate.

  • HT3702 iTunes keep taking money out my credit card without me purchasing any item

    iTunes keeps taking money out my credit card without permission or without me purchasing any item

    The most immediate thing you need to do is to call your credit card company or bank and report the unauthorized charges. That company can contact Apple if they need additional information.
    Next, log into your iTunes Store account and see if the purchases are reflected in the Purchase History. If they are, immediately change the password to your iTunes Store account, making sure it's not something easily guessed or looked up. Then go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. 
    If the charges are not reflected in the Purchase History, then it's most likely a fraudulent charge to your credit card directly rather than an unauthorized purchase through your iTunes Store account in which case it will be up to your bank to handle.
    Regards.

    How did you create the account ? Unless you followed, exactly, the instructions on the HT2534 page that you posted from when creating an account then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.

  • How can I verify an apple id already created without attaching a credit card?

    how can I verify an apple id already created without attaching a credit card?

    Why do you need to verify it? Have you received an email telling you to click a link to do so? - if so it's very possible that it's a scam designed to trick you into entering your credit card details. If you have received such an email don't follow any links in it. If it's not addressed to you by name it's unlikely to be from Apple.
    You could copy and paste the email into a post here so that we can have a look at it - remove your own email address when you do this.
    If there is some other reason you want to verify the ID please give more details.

  • Is it possible to create and save a .PDF without any compression to the resulting .PDF?

    I need an uncompressed file so I can use the resulting PDF to do a find/replace. Can't do it with compression.
    Thanks

    Dave,
    Thanks for the reply. Of all the suggestions I've received this seemed to
    be most promising. I gave it a try and the problem is that when I attempt
    to save as optimized a message box pops up and says I have to save my
    document first. Low and behold when I save it, compression occurs. Even
    when I select the options you suggest I'm left with a compressed document.
    I'm using Acrobat Pro X

    without any compression to the resulting .PDF?
    You don't want the UncompressPDF plugin - that's designed to split out the
    COS objects but doesn't remove the Flate encoding (plus if you've never
    compiled a plugin before, it's not really the time to learn).
    Instead, simply save your PDF file using the PDF (Optimized) file type,
    click the Settings button and under "Clean Up" - "Object compression
    options", choose "Remove compression". Turn everything else off if you
    want to retain the PDF content exactly as it was before.
    Your document-level scripts will then be in the file as plain text.

  • Pull out my soundblaster card.. now it doesnt work? (pics included)

    my soundblaster card was working fine. i had to change some sata cables in my computer and to get to it, i had to pull out the soundblaster card temporary. now the card doesnt produce any sound when i plug in my 3.5 headphone jack into it.
    fatality logo lights up.. so far so good..

    everything on my computer says the soundcard should be fine.... so i have no idea why it isnt working

    last off topic question.. im not sure which one of these cables to plugin into my mobo.. (hd audio or ac 97). when i use the 3.5 jack thats located on the front of the computer. is it using onboard audio instead?

    OMFMs.jpg shows a problem, actually. "High Definition Audio Device" is your onboard sound - not the X-Fi. It's showing both outputs for the onboard, but only the S/PDIF output for your X-Fi. This either means that it's not detecting that anything's plugged in and automatically suppressing itself or that it's simply not working. Right-click on the Playback control panel in the centre part and check that both Disabled and Disconnected devices are showing and check for the X-Fi's speaker output to see if its existance is even being acknowledged.
    If nothing is showing, try reinstalling the drivers. Just the drivers - no need to bother with the rest of the software. You shouldn't need to uninstall anything, rather just install over the top of what's already there.
    Currently your sound is being directed through your onboard audio. Ideally, unless there's a specific reason for you having both enabled, you should probably disable your onboard audio through BIOS, or at least the Device Manager, if you're exclusively using the X-Fi for audio.
    As for your second question, you should be using the HD Audio plug. Electrically the two are compatible but there are extra features offered by the HD Audio setup which don't exist on the AC97 standard. However if you plug this into your motherboard than you will in fact be passing your onboard sound through to the front jacks, rather than your X-Fi's audio. Check your X-Fi card along the front and top edge - there should be a 10-pin (one missing) connector which also accepts the HD Audio plug, which will in turn feed your X-Fi through to the front jacks.

  • Delivery Created with out Material Number

    HI
    I created an STO for material, when i have done the VL10B i got a message "See log for information about creating deliveries"
    A Delivery got created with out the Material number, When i look in the Document Flow for the Delivery Created its preceding document (PO) is not linked
    In the log information i see an error, Please advise
    Diagnosis                                                                               
    The sales unit is not allowed for the material in item               
        000001.                                                                               
    System Response                                                                               
    The system does not allow further processing of this item.                                                                               
    Procedure                                                                               
    Check your entry.                                                    
        Select a sales unit which is defined for the material in the         
        material master record. Normally the sales unit will be              
        determined immediately from the master master record.

    see the change log of material master in MM04.
    check if  the sales unit got removed recently (after the PO creation - before delivery creation)
    if it is not caused by material master directly, then check if you have any userexit in place that changes the sales unit in the delivery.
    SAP has a sales unit in mind which is not available in material master, hence it issues this error.

  • How to create Reports out of Individual Views from Discoverer

    Hi Gurus,
    I am doing a a POC where i need to bring in couple of views which are reports in Discoverer inside OBIEE 11g and create reports out of it.
    In OBIEE i dont need to join anything as these are standalone views i just need to use them to create individual reports. But it seems in OBIEE you cannot do that, you will need to join and create keys in each and every tables(which are views in the DB).
    Is there any way i can import the views from DB or create the views in OBIEE 11g and use them to create reports.
    Thanks,
    Amit

    Hi Amit,
    Yes you can create opaque views in OBIEE 11G at repository level and deploy them.
