writing to a cf card

[vilasman]

Occasionally people will ask how long does it take to write a 1 hr program to a cf card or a question along those lines...

I have my 2G Sandisk ultra card... in my computer now...
I am using a windows media center PC with built in card reader
mytv2go and I am writing the blue collar comedy tour and some TCM movie that i cant think of the name right now.
I started it this morning around 8:45
it is now 4:30
all of blue collar comedy tour is on the card.
it says that 989mb are writtien which what it says the size of the 2 files is...
but it isnt finished yet.
Maybe by 5:30 it will be finished

I would safely say that the transfer isn't going to complete :)
At least not on the Windows side....I'd just pull the card and see if the files are there and functional.

one movie did completely transfer, and i dont think the other one did at all

you're not doing something silly like using activesync to copy the files across are you?

Seriously a Card reader will be much quicker, and at usb2 speed it will fly

no my desktop pc has a card reader built into it. I can read and write cf and sd and mmc
