File Transfer
After reading the forums (and having several questions answered), I figured out how to get video on my X5 and watch it with TCPMP.
Here's another question. I just got a 133x, 2 GB SD card (Pretec brand). Is it my imagination, or does it take a loooong time for the PC to transfer a XviD file? I had a 100MB transfer that took over 20 minutes (or basically, 1X). I was putting a movie (300Mb) on the card. It kept stalling, goofing up the sync mode, etc. Finally, it worked... but it also seemed to take a long time (I let it run overnight... but probably only took an hour or so) Does my transfer speed seem slow... or am I just impatient? Sending files to the CF seemed faster.Any suggestions? | |||

If you are using the cradle to do the transfers it is only USB 1.1 so it is very slow. Windows also does not like large file transfers like that and really can be hit or miss. I would stongly recomend a USB 2.0 card reader. You can get them for $20 and transfer times will be measured in seconds rather then hours and minnutes. Good Luck~

They said my cradle was USB 2.0. I actually had to buy a 2.0 slot for my PC (it only had the 1.1 slots in the motherboard) As I understand it... the card reader is totally separate from the X5 cradle. You connect the card reader to the USB 2.0 port, load your CF or SD card in the reader, do a file transfer, and then put the CF/SD card back in the X5. Presto? Fast movie transfers? | ||||

Yea don't trust the guys at frys. Most of them work off of commission and they are just looking for a sale. So the info they give you isn't always correct. I got to where I never talk to them unless its go get me this or do you have this. Thats all.
