Accessing MXF Files
by Derek Hader on Jan 28, 2009 at 12:18:00 am

Hello,

I'm not fluent with this but, here's my best explanation. I have a PDW-F350. Typically to load my MXF files using my PDW-U1 onto my PC (XP) for use in PPro CS3, I could do 1 of 2 things. 1 - Copy and drag the MXF clips from My ComputerXDCAMClipC0001.mxf (or something similar) to my storage drive. 2 - It usually worked using the PDZ-1 application.

I had to recently reinstall everything on my PC. I've downloaded the firmware and drivers (includining PDW-U1 Version 2.10) etc, I thought i had downloaded before to make all this work. I have PDZ-1 installed. But not PDZ-1 does not recogize the Disk, and when i try the drag and drop method, the folder stucture on the disk now is much different.

Whereas before I would go: My ComputerXDCAMClipC0001.mxf
Now it seems: My ComputerPROAVCLPRC0001....mxf

But now, instead of all my MXF files being in one directory, each clip is separated into its own folder, and there are 6 MXF files... 4 audio track MXF files, 1 video track MXF, and the low-res (proxie?) MXF file that contains both V+A. Also, it doesn't work now to import them into Premier.

At first I thought I had accidently changed a setting on the camera to produce separate video and audio files. But I've checked old disks that i know imported properly in past, and ruled out camera settings.

so i guess i must have the wrong software/firmware/driver(s)???

Help and advice greatly appreciated!

-Derek
