MTS back-ups & Bogart 3.6c

[JBrooks]

I may have discovered a bug in 3.6c.

I am wanting to see if anyone else has experienced this before I perform another full install.

I frequently shoot in HQ 1920 X 1080/30p with my Sony EX1 and edit in that project setting in my S-4100, then I export via the project back-up method using the MTS setting in the project window ( I do not want to downscale to HDV since I shot in full HD) for exporting and archiving.

Yesterday, for the first time since fully installing Bogart 3.6c two weeks ago, I backed-up using this method (both DVD & USB stick) however, when I checked to see if I could re-import via the record menu via the USB icon, nothing showed up. Only a quick flash for less than a second and absolutely nothing as if the disc was blank. The message "back-up succeeded" did appear after the MTS back-up though. I tried several different clips and lengths; 5 sec. 12, sec. and even a 48 min. storyboard. Also, I tried several different back-up media like USB stick, Blu-ray, and my regular TY JVC Pro DVD -Rs I've always used.

I did try to re-import a previous MTS file disc that I originally saved under 3.2c and it read in via Bogart just fine. So far, only MTS files I create in Bogart 3.6c cannot be re-imported via the record menu at this time.

So for now and until I get into Bogart 4, I will have to archive via media manager.

I have forwarded this to Justin.

OK. I did a second full install today of Bogart 3.6c and I got the same exact result. My bet is there is a bug with the MTS save feature/function, or something to do with the S-4100 hardware/software configuration with regard to OS 3.6c.

The file would not re-import via Bogart record window. The HDV back-up feature still works fine ONLY the MTS selection will not work.

No problem here. Tested last night and even used 24P material. No idea what it could be.

I'm curious if any S-4100 owners out there will test this to see if it's a random issue with S-4100 units.

It has to be 1920 X 1080/30p source material footage. Also, if there are any S-4100 owners who are using Bogart 4.1c with this same issue . This is not to be confused with the new "restore" feature in Bogart 4 but simply the re-import of MTS files via the record USB window icon.

Thanks,

Joel

This bug has been confirmed by Macrosystem and a fix will be in a future OS update.

Just don't use a USB stick. It probably has something to do with the format. I would surmise that the USB stick can be formatted in MEDIA MANAGER. Just a guess.


In the mean time: It works with the LaCie and I can re-import the MTS files. Use this procedure for now.
