1DsmarkIII slow tethered work around

[Hans_de_Kort]

I found a solution for the slow tethered shooting with the 1DsmarkIII on MacOsX.
Made 3 partitions on my MacbookPro:
- leopard
- work disk formatted in FAT 32
- windows xp
Shooting tethered with xp and EOS utility dropping the files at the work partition.
Made a giganetwork with my MacPro and looked at the work disk as the watch folder and get them with lightroom to this machine.

So do you never hit the buffer now?

You can even hit the buffer with a CF card if you want.

My question was referring to your experience *in practice.* Thanks anyway.

hi, im trying to setup the same setup. im not sure how to setup, or why, the disk in FAT32. i couldnt see that option when choosing the disk size when using VWware.
i have installed windows xp pro (version 2002) onto the vm application, but i dont think its the sp2 version of xp (what ever that means).
i installed the canon software that came with my mk 3, but it doesnt install the eos utility. it has succesfully installed everything else but that. i tried installing eos utility off the canon site, but it says that it wont function in this enviroment???
what have i done wrong? i really dont know the first thing about windows. the copy of windows i have is just what i had left from a laptop i bought for my wife a while back. not sure if its right.

can any pc people help?

cheers paul

All together it's quit simple.
You run eos utility on a virtualmachine (VMware, parralels) and drop the files in shared folder in XP.
In MacOsx you run eos utility as well and make the shared folder a monitored folder and there you are (You make a samba connection from Mac to PC, smb://)

you don't have to use fat32, you can run everything on one partition
Later this week I will try one 2 machines and will see if there speed differences

Anybody tried the 1DsmarkIII with the new macbook(pro); late 2008.
It seems that their USB ports are much faster; Barefeats.
I will do a test next week.

i asked the same question in the MF forum....because i heard the same thing....unfortunately it still seems to be the canon driver which slows things down....

If that is true will the new capture one pro drivers on the new macbook pro speed things up....anyone able to test it?

Looking forward to your findings Hans, although someone on the mf forum already tried it and didn't report faster tethering with the new macbook pros. Kinda strange as external usb harddrives seem to have become really fast, maybe it's not only the mac's usb but a combination of canon and mac which causes the slowness. In the meantime Fusion does a very nice job...
