Yo Chuck…Got another problem for you to solve. In the Files\Files mode, you can't reliably copy files, or at least, I can't. And I've tried every combo I can think of. Video A to Video B, Video B to Video A, Audio to Video B, Video B to Audio, Audio to Video A, and Video A to Audio. And I tried it while standing on my head. I get a variety of errors. The first error was that the info copied over and showed it to be there, but when you played the clip, nothing was there. The second error I got was that the previous files that I had copied would assume the icon identity, of the last file I copied. I would go to play these files and they would be okay, but they would have the wrong icon. Sometimes I'd go to play these files and they wouldn't play at all. The third error type I ran into was that Icons already existing on the drive would either have mystery icons, which would crash if you touched them, or another type of icon which I can't identify. Either way, they wouldn't play. Fortunately, I didn't lose any vital clips. Also, I have a question about Reorganization. I had a drive with 8 minutes available, but would have 27 minutes if I reoranized. So I did the smart thing and reorganized. It took the drive 15 to 20 minutes to do the job. But when it came up, I had gained a couple of minutes, not the full 27 I wanted. The drive said I now had 10 minutes available, 27 minutes if I reorganized. Once again, I reorganized. It took another 1 to 20 minutes. I gained only about a minute. I then reorganized again. This time I gained about 13 minutes. That was close enough, although I did try one more time. I gained nothing. What gives??? It took 15 to 20 minutes each time I reorganized. Why didn't I get it all back at once. Regards GMAN
