XDCAM Transfer 2.0 is out
Sony did put XDCAM Transfer 2.0 on their ftp-server
ftp://ftp.sony.com
If using OS X, use an ftp program.User Name: storage
Password: NONE (e.g. leave blank)Select the folder: XDCAM – Optical Disk
Select the folder: Software
Select the folder: PDKZ-P1 for Mac-FCP Transfer
Select the folder: XDCAM Transfer Version 2.0I wasn’t able to do the default installation. The FAM driver wouldn’t update. So I did the special installation (FAM driver update disabled) instead. As far as I can see the software works fine.
At first glance XCDAM Transfer 2.0 is niecer to look at, it gives more information and lets you sort clips in many ways. It’s also easier to import subclips.
In the preferences pane you’re able to disable the proxy import (I like that one!), add the diskname to the file name (I did this before with an automator script) and only import the monitored audio channels (very handy). -

How did you instal, I have downloaded, but just get installation failed. There does not seem to be an option to just instal the software without the FAM driver.

Same problem with the install.

Got it installed.
When I saw this at NAB, they had a feature where you could output a QT of the proxy W/ TC Burn-In.
That was the feature we were looking forward to the most…
Am I missing it or does it look like it was left out?

It now says that a password is required for the account: storage. Any ideas? Anyone still have a copy of the file?

Robert,
You can still get the software from the the Sony web site. It’s a 129meg file that also includes the EX1 owner’s manual .pdf as well as the transfer software that will be shipping with the camera.

Hopefully Sony Fixes the FAM Driver install. That was an issue with 1.1 in Leopard. Still have some quirkiness in Leopard with Version 2.0. Like not being able to rename the disc (does not save it when disc is reloaded). But able to import clips so that is the important part.

Don,
XDCAM Transfer 2.0 is software to transfer/convert MXF files from a XDCAM HD camera like the PDW-F350 to editable QuickTime files on a Mac.
XDCAM EX Clip Browsing Software V1.1 does the same for the XDCAM EX camera’s.
Depending on the camera you own, you need the one or the other software. -
Thanks, Klaas.

I think the timecode overlay option in XDT was removed because QT Player now displays the timecode properly if the movie has a timecode track (and all proxy and hi-reso movies from XDT do).
> QuickTime 7.1.6 (https://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime716formac.html) adds support for:
>
> – Timecode and closed captioning display in QuickTime Player
