OT - EX1 Clip Browser 2 - Molasses?

I've experienced and read about this before and "assume" someone's doing something about it (?), but it is ironic that the two processes of copying the BPAV Folder and then "rewrapping" to MXF take something very close to or even longer than realtime, negating one of the big advantages of this tapeless society we're "enjoying".

The aspect I was wondering about is this so-called "rewrapping" - if there's no re-compressing going on - what the hell is taking all that time?

Information and/or theories welcome.

Is it checking data? I use NEOHD on the fixed machine or Shotput Pro for straight location capture on the laptop.

I'm glad someone raised this (again).
I'm sitting here spinning my wheels waiting for 2 hours of footage to get rewrapped or whatever by CB2. CB1 was MUCH faster.

By the time I'd copied the cards intact, made a backup to another drive and converted to MXF for Vegas to swallow it would have been quicker to shoot tape. And I still don't have a backup on something I can easily put on a shelf like I can a tape.

We've got SPE, it's a bit faster dumping cards as we run it on a fast Dell laptop, the Express Card interface is faster than USB2. However being a laptop we have to finally dump the files to an external HDD, and that connects via....USB2, sigh.

Imagine Products has released ShotPut Pro with an upgrade price for those of us who own Shotput Express. Did any of you buy it, and if so what does it do that Shotput Express doesn't do? When I read the description, I don't see the advantages.

Note my reference above. Yes, I bought. Two improvements: handles more formats (EX, P2, RED, etc) and it will burn data to a DVD via your selected software.
