Re: Can I offload a portion of an SxS card?

Thanks guys for your help.

Craig, I can appreciate taking a careful, safe approach. However, when you have a producer waiting for you to put the footage on a hard drive, and she is tapping her foot because she has to catch a flight, it is good to be quick. I always make a second copy later onto my own hard drive for safekeeping.

Rick, that is the answer I was looking for. I keep hearing that you need to move the entire BPAV folder intact without changing anything. Here is a another scenario, hypothetical, but it helps me understand. Say I am shooting a football game, and at the end the producer says " just give me the 5 touchdown plays". Using XDCAM browser, could I just find those 5 clips and drag them to the lower explorer window into a folder on her hard drive? Would she still get all the necessary "structure" files to be able to open them later in an NLE?

Thanks again
