  Could anyone to tell me what is teh name of this aditional plugins??

  PS: I am working in Avid Media Composer and when import the footage I can see nothing.

  The DVCProHD codec that Final Cut uses to read and export P2 footage is not available on the PC. However, if you download the Avid codecs to your Final Cut station and export using the Avid DV100 codec, you’ll have a cross platform and cross NLE compatible file.

  Otherwise, if you want to see and use the P2 media for your Final Cut system on a PC, you can buy Raylight Decoder for $95. It will decode the DVCProHD files for the PC so you can see them.

  Find Raylight here–even download a demo:
