Just curious before I try this, has anyone else used it and can you tell me if my scene bin clips will come back in as fully trimable, i.e Can I trim them back out to longer length or will they just come back in off the drive at a length they were as when 'AV Data Saved' ?

Thanks Charles,

I'm currently 'reading' a main machine project into Windows Bogart, it's taking an absolute age, still capturing this morning, and set off last night around midnight. It's about 20 minutes of SD material too.

Hi Allen
Can you post on the UK Yahoo group you might get the answer there if not i don't mind posting for you as i don't think Windows for Bogart is released in the USA yet

Will do Charles.

Hi Allen,

Yes they will. Initially they are as you saved them but if you go into trim you can expand them again

I just saved a 10 minute SD project to an external USB HDD and it took 1 minute 24 seconds to save on an S4000, 1 minute 16 seconds to read back in and 1 minute 46 to read into Bogart for Windows. This was the Story Board only so adding the Scene Bin will take longer as it will be all the footage.

Using a USB thumb drive, for the same Story Board, took 8 minutes 40 seconds out and 12 minutes 2 seconds back in - so the speed of your drive/media also affects the process.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for that, saving the project(s) onto a just purchased Seagate 1TB portable drive, reasonably quick coming off the main machine, but just taking forever going into Jenni's new WIndows laptop. I suspect the lack of appropriate Windows media codecs in Win 8 might have something to do with it ? Any ideas there and which codec pack is required to make the Win Bogart fully operable Win 8 ?

As this is "just" data transfer and the files aren't compressed or altered in this process (it's normally very quick - especially if you are backing up HD !!) then I don't think the codecs will have anything to do with it - others please jump in if you know any differently

Mines on a slightly old desktop so it's speed might be compatible with the laptop . . . but it's definitely on Windows 7

It will save the entire SB and all the scene bin clips. However, there are no transitions and audio mixes. Pretty 'cool' way to save individual projects to an ext. drive. rather than the whole backup routine. No compression. Pristine like the original.
