    I would love to try it too
    but after installing XDCAM EX Clip Browser
    on my Mac all I can do is to read:

    You cannot open the application XDCAM EX Clip Browser because it isnot supported on this system

    Such a bad luck! I don’t know why. It should be supported on OSX 10.4.11? right?

    You’re probably on a PPC Mac. Time to get an Intel Mac to have a secure work flow. The alternative is to get ShotPut Express but it does not contain all the features of ClipBrowser2. It does copy BPAV and does make sure all the data is intact. It’s not a viewer for example though.

    Marta,

    As my esteemed colleague Craig has eluded to, Sony’s Clip Browser software is an “Intel only” program, whereas the Transfer Tool works on both PPC and Intel Macs. Normally most PPC Mac users can get away with using just the Transfer Tool to get their files from the SxS Pro cards into an editable format. In your case there is a clip missing that could be recovered using Clip Browser 2. So now you have to decide whether or not this clip is important enough to justify finding someone you know with an Intel Mac or you go out and buy your own. The Mac Mini’s are relatively inexpensive and are Intel-based.

    Gentelmen
    I have another option at home!!!! 🙂
    Stationary PC computer of my husband!!!!
    And fresh XDCAM EX Clip Browser is already on it.
    I’m starting to transfer data to external drive from my MAC, and then….
    we will see.

    The lost file is very important to me. That’s why I won’t give up till the end.

    As far as subject of intel based MAC is concerned- I was fine with my old Mac, but now I see that maybe I should move with techinque and change it. Although I don’t want a new one. But getting Mini is a very very very good idea, Don.
    Thanx

    Good luck, Marta. I really hope you can get that important clip back.

    Hi again!

    So after getting my hopes up this is what happenes
    in the SONY CLIP BROWSER 2.0:

    when I connect to External Drive with the rescued files I get this note:

    “the folder contains some incomplete clips. Please copy all files in the (BPAV) folder under the selected fodler to SxS card and execute salvage operation on the recording equipment”

    DO you think I should do this?
    I guess I could do it in rental house.
    BUt I stopped believing it will result with something…:(

    When I try to import single mp4 file. I get the note: failed to import the clip

    So it looks not good.
