That crazy should I rebuild or not question, but I’m stuck.

Sorry Graham,

My brain was fried, yes, I’m talking about my Canon XF 300s. The native mxf files from the camera.

Thanks for all the advice guys. Very helpful. Time to spend some money on a machine.

What is a Canon XF300 “s”? What’s the “s”? How had you got the XMF Filed?

Grazie

Thanks again for the great help. I pulled the trigger on the machine today. Now I’ll just wait for humpty dumpty to come.

Actually John, People are doing this on a PC. I have done it on my Mac mini I7 but I haven’t tried it on a PC yet. Here’s a link explaining how to do it on a PC.

Yes, I appreciate that but not “legally”, and not without a lot of problems. I’ve built a Hackintosh so I know first hand the level of difficulty in getting it to work and how unstable it can be. This is NOT the same as buying Mac. There is no PC hardware that’s as good as the Mac track pad. It just doesn’t exist. So yes, you can hack OS X and remove it’s security settings and get it to run on PC hardware… and be careful that Apple updates don’t undo your hack, but that doesn’t make it a Mac or anything like the Mac experience of hardware and software working together. It’s an interesting project though… just not anything I would bet my business on 😉
