if you click on the square green 1 button at the bottom left below the text MS A/V it should give you more info in the box to the right when it tries to decode the video?

Hi Alistair,

thaks for that turns out they used Mainconcept Mpeg to encode the footage,
so hopefully i can find a plugin for my premiere that may play the file,

if not i will have to borrow a FCP machine so i cna gumpt the files back to tape..

what fun that will be!!

Hi,

Our Calibrated{Q} XD Decode for Windows should be able to let you import the MOV files into PPro. It’s a QuickTime Decode codec for XDCAM HD/EX/HDV MOV files. You can download a free DEMO here (DEMO is fully functional except that it has a gray grid watermark pattern):

https://www.calibratedsoftware.com/QXD.asp

The MOV clips probably won’t play in realtime in in PPro CS3 – but you’ll at least be able to bring the MOV files in and render and/or export them into a file format that would be RT in PPro.

Cheers,
Greg

Hi Greg – I want to use the Calibrated{Q} XD Decoder, but I only have a machine with FCP 5.1.4 – I am hoping I can export bunch of clips I have been sent so that I can edit them – Will this work? VLC player says I need the XVE codec to play these clips,

[Greg Booth]

Hi Adam,

Do you mean the ‘xdve’ codec -if so, that’s the fourcc for XDCAM EX 1080p25. Calibrated{Q} XD Decode does decode this format – however this product is not meant to be used on any Mac computers with any version of Final Cut Pro installed. For users with FCP 5.1.4 or earlier – that wish to have XDCAM EX workflows – we do recommend upgrading to at least FCP 6.0.2 in which FCP introduced XDCAM EX workflows.

If you have anymore questions, please feel free to email me at info@calibratedsoftware.com

Cheers,
Greg
