That codec gets installed with Final Cut.

Express doesn’t support DVCPro HD. Only Final Cut Pro or Premiere or Avid or another NLE. But FC Express only supports very limited formats, hence the reduced price (along with a lot of other limitations.)

Unfortunately not, to get Pro level codecs and features you must get Pro level software.

You can look at Panasonic’s download software section to see if there is a transcoder that will fit your workflows. For example, a lot of AVCHD users like to convert their files to p2 to get better performance and Panasonic provides an AVCHD to P2 transcoder. There may be a similar product for what your needs are.

P2 is a card, not a format. A P2 card can record DVCPro HD, DV50, AVI-Intra codec among other things, but to call P2 a format is not correct.
