I have been using the cable that came with the camera.

but after I read your post, and disabled the raids. I tried a new cable. I am transfering a 45 minute clip, and it is on track to be done in 15 minutes....so, all MIGHT be ok now.

sweet.

edit-

I spoke to soon. going on 45 minutes now and still not close......ok. so raid is disabled, I am using USb 2.0 cable, what else?

can someone point me to an internal express card reader for a PC. I have googled it, but I dont think I am wording it right, because I just get PCMI express video cards as a result.

I want to try that instead of using the USB from camera to computer. just to see if that works.

Dave,

Isn't this the one that requires rebooting to change out media? I've been waiting for a hot-swap one, but didn't think there was one.

And by the way, why didn't you send a link to a local shop that carried it? ;-)

Hey, they can't ALL be perfect! ;-)
Behave, Ted, or Santa won't bring you any more backpacks!!

....and besides, as a former Windows user, I know that rebooting is sorta like cleansing the palette, 'ya know? He might enjoy that routine. ;)

I havent picked up an express card reader for the computer yet, but I just transfered a 56 minute file via usb....well, am TRANSFERING the file. its on hour 3.....

nothing has changed on my computer in almost a week, and now its taking even longer to transfer, could this be a camera thing?

Tried my s x s card in my new mbp today for the first time.
Transferred about 13 min of video in about 1 min.

ok, I have tried it on three different computers, and its still slow as ever. I am really leaning towards camera related.
