Matt Davis has confirmed that sticking an SxS card into the express card slot of a MBP with Snow Leopard causes a kernal panic every time. He says using the SDHC cards in adaptors works fine though.
I have been trying to import pro disc footage on my Snow Leopard install 13″ MBP using XDCAM transfer and be having all sorts of problems. Cache not working, unable to relabel disc.
There may be other problems that I haven’t come across but it seems we need new XDCAM transfer software and a new SxS driver.

Completely out of context Phil, but I was wondering if you’ll be reviewing the 1/3 Letus relay any time soon.
Cheers,
Daniel
is it out?
It’s listed as a product on letusdirect.com, so I think it is.
Hi Phil,
Do you notice any improvement with editing h.264 files with snow leapard?
Thanks in advance. 🙂
it lets you playback full screen but it doesn’t improve editing one jot, only for REALLY basic editing. H264 is just too complex a finishing format to edit with.
Oh my God…
Is the USB transfer from the XDCAM still working?
Will Sony deliver us a new driver for Snow Leopard?
as any one found using snow lepoard/final cut pro 7 it being faster…because it still renders the same….slow….What happen to all the speed we were going to get…
so snow leopard will make my mac run faster… just now i wont be able to use it for work! yay i never liked importing anyway!
Hi, had to re-install FCP, the files from the HM GY100 were playing in quicktime, but giving me white screens in FCP. I would as a first step, recommend that people dump preferences, this seems to have sorted out my other niggles in illustrator and AE. Great camera btw, bought after seeing your test. many thanks.
@tom_ryan – the usb transfer with the sony sxs works…
Thanks for the info.
Here is the new driver from Sony:
