Additional bug : Audio of clips appear to play too fast but play well in XDCAM EX Clip Browser 2.6.

Now just hope we will not get the usual Sony talk about the PMW-EX 1 is 3 years old so it is obsolete.

Also the mac os x snow leopard is one year old so let hope will not wait another 6 months guys.

I also try to play a BPAV imported by XDCAM Browser 1.0 in VLC and it play audio at normal speed.

I am sorry to have to report this here but how this have been able to escape Sony testing in lab …

Thank-you Mr. Ian Cook sorry for the hard word about this release and Sony support.

This Sony software is so vital inside the XDCAM EX i hope a bug fix is soon to be release.

You must understand working with memory cards workflow required a reliable software.

I have update my PMW-EX 1 Firmware from 1.11 to 1.20 today and that have not solve the bug at all.

XDCAM EX Clip Browser 2.6 and XDCAM Transfer 2.12 still work very well even with MAC OS X 10.6.5.

So it is a Sony XDCAM Browser 1.0 bugs and i am still waiting for a confirmation of the bug by Sony.
