    Hey
    Is it possible to open an XDCAM file on a PC that was imported for FCP?
    Is there a PC based player that can be downloaded? A client want to review the shots on a PC. I am looking for any solution short of re-exporting the files as some other codec using Flip for Mac.

    any help would be great
    thanks
    David

    This comes up almost every week. I wish we could make a sticky.
    This will allow XDCAM EX MOV files to be played own any system Mac or Windows without Final Cut Pro.

    Thank you. That might be the option to use.

    There’s a trial download but apparently it chomps out the middle 1/3 of the picture.
