RE: [Avid-L2] Sony XD cam EX files

 

>I assume no transcoding on a Mac with xdcam transfer?

No unfortunately but on import it does create a XDCAMHD MPEG2 QT file
readable with QT player. If you drill down into the BPAV folder and ever try
to open a MP4 QT from a EX XDCAM camera the file is unreadable. All the
files on a EX brand XDCAMHD camera, F3,F100, EX1,EX3 are consistent across
the board. The disc based cameras use a different file structure due to the
XDCAM disc particulars.

FYI on the PC you do have to purchase the Main Concept transcoder to get
DNxHD files from a EX card
