Sony SxS pro XDCAM EX memory cards in Final Cut
When I attempt to log and transfer the footage from the EX3 cam onto Final Cut 7 from the built in reader on the MacBook Pro I receive and error saying “the folder contains unsupported media or had an invalid directory structure. This is my first time trying so I’ll bet there is something simple I am missing here. Please help if you can.

Have you downloaded and installed the Sony SxS driver software? You need to install the SxS drivers before FCP will recognize the cards.

I’m having trouble with this too. I’ve installed the drivers for SxS cards and I’ve installed XDCAM transfer 2.5.1. I can see the card mounted on my laptop, but Log and Transfer isn’t recognizing the media. I’m running FCP 7.0.1 on a Macbook Pro running 10.6.2

OK, I figured it out. I needed SxS Device Driver v1045050 and XDCAM_EX_Log_and_Transfer_Plugin_1_0_0
Sony really needs to streamline their websites, I got one file form the Canada site and one from Sony Europe. Each site offers different files and different hoops to jump through to get them.

Just Curious. Is the Macbook pro running Snow Leopard? I have a mobile job next week and will need to access SxS cards. I have not tried accessing an SxS or opening a BPAV file it since upgrading the MacBook to FCP7 & Snow Leopard. Hoping it still works.
MacPro 3.2ghz 8 core, 4 Gbyte RAM, FCP 6.0.5, OS X.5.6
QT7.5.5, Kona3 (v6.1), Atto FC41-ES, 12TB Custom RAID-striped RAID 3.

Yes, I’m running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and it all seems happy. Sony needs to get their act together and update their web sites.
