Hi all,

I have a query for the video/film gurus!!!

We have some film footage that was shot using a Canon XL1 camera and
captured on a windows pc using Avid software.  The video clips were saved as
.mov files.

The video clips were then copied to an external USB2 hard disc which is set
up using NTSS format.

The editing is to be done on a Power Mac G4 (running OS 10.3.something), the
external HD is plugged into the USB2 port on the Power Mac and we are
attempting import the video clips into Final Cut Pro version 4.

The import is working, but is terribly slow (painfully so). Is there
anything that we can do that anyone is aware of to speed up the process.

All suggestions appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Ken W...
