This is a topic I'd like to get info on too. I don't particularly care if I use a MAC or a PC really, I just want to find a way to make clones of the XDCam discs.

I tried the PDZ1 software and the FAM copy and FTP copy functions. The FAM copy (after hours of trying to get it to work) generated errors and I think I got one file copied which took a long time. The FTP Copy also eventually worked but took almost 2 hours to clone a 45 minute disc! Sony can't possibly think this is the way to go?

Anybody have a solution to this issue? There must be a way to do this file transfer in "faster than real time." If not, it's insane.
