I noticed something odd with the HD (720p) clips I recorded on my MR-HD100 today. I was also rolling tape in a JVC GY-HD200.
I went to check a few of the clips using Quicktime. on my MacBook Pro. Regardless of the length of the shot I rolled (do we still say that any more?) all the clips were 4:26 seconds long. The shots themselves were fine, but then froze on the last frame for the remainder of the 4:46. For example, 20 seconds of moving video, then 4:06 frozen.
However, when I imported a couple into FCP, none of the frozen video was imported.
I got the shots I needed, so no biggie, I guess, other than possibly eating up a lot of unnecessary drive space (I'll have to export a couple of clips from FCP and compare the file sizes).
Any ides? Is it just a Quicktime quirk? I can't recall ever playing directly out of the drive before.
