I'm noticing that version 2 is taking TWICE as long to off load clips as version 1.x

Is anybody else experiencing this?

Has anybody informed Sony?

Yeah I noticed this too!

Note that Clip Browser 2 now has CRC error checking option. When this is enabled it will slow down copying. It also allows you to chose between Processing Speed and Data protection when MOVING (not the same as copying) a clip. Data protection may also slow things down as it duplicates the clip before deleting the original.

You can speed things up by changing the preferences but with speed is risk.
