Mobile HD - fingers crossed and it worked!

I have an assignment to make a presentation video for a kindergarten, using their footage in combination with mine. For this purpose i have got myself a 250 gig mobile disk, 1394 and USB. The idea is to bring the disk to their PC (they have their own Vegas), transfer stuff, show stuff, bring it back to my place to do some editing and so on.

Today I brought the disk to them for the first time, hooked it up and started Vegas. Not only did it work, but Vegas never even asked why the disk was called H when yesterday it was G. It just opened the veg, found all media and was ready. How about that?

Pretty cool, isn't it? We just reviewed the Nnovia A2D as well, and it's a smokin' unit. Connected to our old Betacam, this sucker performed GREAT! And vegas sucked it all right in.

One question about the unit. We have a Firestore and what drives me nuts about it is the FAT32 limitations and the fact that it'll drop a few frames during file changeover. As this unit is for both Macs and PCs I imagine it's at least got the issue of still being FAT32 and your recording gets split up into 4GB chunks.
