Re: Question for other cameramen

In my situation, I have them bring a hard drive (or I can pick one up for them - I like the LaCie D2 Quad 500 GB for under $200). I then bring my PowerBook G4 with the PCMCIA slot that accepts the P2 cards (though you can get a card reader if you're using a different computer). I then copy the files to their hard drive and I make a copy for myself. That way I've got them covered if they screw up the files, which has happened once or twice.

Be sure you've got FW800 as a transfer method. Otherwise the transfer takes twice as long.
