    Hi,

    I just got some XDcam material on an external HD.
    Its folder structure is as following; PROAV/CLPR/C001/C001A01.mxf and so on.
    I have the latest AMA drivers, and I have tried both AMA linking and regular import. Nothing works. Any idea?

    I usually try linking via clip first before folder to make sure the correct Sony AMA plug-in is being used. So in yor example, use the link to file and select “C001A01.mxf ” directly with each of the plug-ins. Once you know you can link to it, note which one you are using then use the “folder” version of the AMA plug-in and work your way backwards in the folder structure until it works. There is only one level of hierarchy that will work and I never remember which one, so I do the different levels until it does. My guess is either the PROAV or the CLPR folders. Also make sure there are strange characters or slashed (/) in any of the folder names, but from your example, it does not seem to be the case.
