Hi there. I am having a "cyclical redundancy error" problem when moving large video files between hard drives (via USB, Firewire and Ethernet) I have had great success pulling my home video tape movies from an analog Hi8mm sony handycam and a sony digital tape camcorder into my Sony Vaio desktop computer using convertx and intervideo software. Storing the files directly onto to the 250gb E drive as Mpeg2 files in DVD Hi quality. Each hour of video is about 2.3GB of space. Importing and play back is no problem for file sizes 0.5GB up to 6.1GB. Playback with Windows media player. Problem comes when I drag and drop files onto my 500GB lacie backup dirves (one is connected via firewire, one via ethernet). In 50% of cases I get a "cyclical redundancy check error" about half way through the file copy and I cannot complete the transfer. The files play fine, all three hard drives are fine. I suspect some issue with file size but the error is not systematic (i.e. not all files over a certain size etc). There are tons of links to the cyclical redundancy error on the web - all talk about hardware issues, and none have a way to turn it off or relate to this issue. Help! Many thanks
CRC Errors are usually Caused from Data Corruption, so it seems that somehow the Data is being Corrupted when you are Trying to Copy them from Drive to Drive which isn"t that Uncommon with External Drives... How Do you Solve this Problem?? Don"t use External Drives!! Other than that I couldn"t tell you..... Good luck
