Yes, native ex-media won't be pleasant on a xw8000. I'd suggest transcode before editing.

I was just curious if anyone else is having this problem. We weren't seeing it in 4.0.5 with the same media. IT was reported to AVID, but who knows when I will here back from them! :)

The weird thing is if you continue through the error and the next window, the clip shows up in the bin and we have no further issues with it. Makes batch importing a hassle though because you get the error at the end of each clip.
