KARAT Problems - Ksebara the Culprit?

I finally got rid of my old S4k bc I had similar issues and now with the new Karat, I must say I am disheartened that I am running into the same issues again- maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Here's what happened:

I used kseabra to load in ~ 16 minutes of video burned to a dvd from my computer. I used ksebara in an HD project to upload. It worked fine, I edited clips and such and then I went to another rproject, returned and everything was gone. Huh? Then in yet another project, footage from yet ANOTHER project overlayed what was supposed to be there for part of the clip (maybe 3 of the 15 minutes) but the audio was unaffected. Its as though no project is safe now and weird things happen - clips become unplayable, video footage gets replaced. It's bizarre. I thought it was a software or some major issue with my old S4k and I finally gave up on it and now this. Sigh. Drive is only 24% full. brand new unit. I don't get it. Maybe I cant use kseabra ever? maybe I should ONLY upload HD footage and never SD footage? I'm completely lost and disgusted with this. Any ideas would be awesome. Thank you.

Just a quick follow-up: I know you can load a DVD via kseabara (though Ive had a lot of issues with it - not sure but I think that's the culprit), but how can I load a blu ray dvd back into the system? I don't think ksebara works. Is it something in media manager?

I posted several times that the editor can use the BOGART RECORD WINDOW to import a HD rule disc. Using MM requires two importations and at times is finicky. Two imports? Yes. Import to MM via the Film icon in MM. Then when archived, imported to the Bogart side via the Archive setting. No need yo use MM.

Place the disc in the drive.
Set up your project to reflect the same codec.

Open the RECORD window and WAIT for the disc to populate- be patient.

You should observe three files. One is the actual material on the disc The other is a menu file and an ending menu file.

Click OK and import into the Bogart scene bin.

Pristine replication. Not like using Abrakadava. :-)

Using Arabesk 6, we can now save our project as an ISO file and re-import ( super fast) a saved Arabesk project albeit no being able to make adjustments.
