We're mac based, but have you tried adobe media encoder? We deliver in XDCamEX frequently, and almost always transcode from some 'higher' format using media encoder. If it works in Mac, it should work in PC, and I'm pretty sure the XDCamEX codec is included with the Avid PE codecs. If not, you could load the Sony AMA, or any Sony XDCam tool or reader, probably, which should give you the XDCamEX codec. Not a 'firm' answer, but another avenue to explore...

Subject: [Avid-L2] XDCAM EX codec for .mov

Avid-L2@yahoogroups.com This is a new one for me and after reading and researching for hours I'm at a blank.
The format I need to deliver our show in is XDCAM EX codec in a quicktime .mov
I'm on a PC running MC 6.5.2
I tried sending the DVCPRO codec, (it looks aweful btw), an H264 as well as an OP1A.mxf. It seems their encoder plays it back jittery so the only format I can deliver in is a XDCAM EX .mov file.
With that said, I searched high and low yesterday to no avail. I read old threads on the L back to 2006.
I tried the demo version of Calibrated XD Decode and installed it but I couldn't figure out how to get Avid to see the codecs so it would export the .mov with the XDCAM EX wrapper on it.
The specs I need to deliver are:
XDCAM EX Codec
quicktime .mov
35 MB/s VBR
1920x1080
upper field first
29.97 fps
2 Ch audio
16 Bit
48 KHz
Linear PCM audio codec
This shouldn't be this hard but I've hit the wall. If anyone has any suggestions I am fully open to them and would appreciate the vast knowledge here on the L to point me in the right direction.
Thank you many times in advance and I'm even open to an old school Zelin chastising if it can make this work haha.
Thanks,
Eric
