Export XDCam 422 codec with a .mov extension on PC

[David Roth weiss]

We know what you want to do, but can you tell us why? Honestly, other the fact that someone who doesn’t really know much about codecs had requested it, I can’t think of a good reason to create a deliverable as XDCam.

That is an actual spec that some channels require. For realsies. Lately it’s mostly XDCAM422 in an mxf container instead of a mov. And yeah you’ll need a mac for that or play around with this: https://code.google.com/p/ffmbc/

That is exactly right David, and thanks I will try your link!

Yeah…XDCAM 422 50Mbit as an MXF is very common as a deliverable. As a QT movie is not…thus the curious nature of the question.

Hi Tony,
This is the 2nd time I’ve seen this in a week. Check out: https://www.calibratedsoftware.com/Products/MXFImportV3/MXFImport.php

“Calibrated{Q} MXF Import also comes with a ‘helper’ application called Calibrated{Q} Import Assist. This application enables you to batch create QuickTime Reference or Self-contained .MOV files from MXF files, and rewrap XDCAM, XAVC 50/100/200 and AVC-Intra 50/100/200 MOV files back to OP1a MXF Files.”

I hope that will work for you.

Thanks,
Kevin

I’ve sent letterboxed 4:3 TGA sequences to channels last year. My time is spent better actually doing those instead of trying to argue the specs the channels have.

ok I have downloaded the file and extracted it but I don’t see how to install it, how do I make it work? any ideas?
