Re: [Avid-L2] XDCam Codec

The codec is not free. Content Browser is, but that does not provide codec
access (i.e., can't read or write XDCAM media outside of Content Browser).
That said, the OP never stated what the purpose would be, just that he
needed a codec, which isn't available without paying something to someone…
