XDCAM Transfer 2.1

[Job Van nuenen]

Hi Mark,

The trick is to import the folder ‘above’ the BPAV. that is: the folder you’ve copied the BPAV folder into. This way XDcam transfer is thinking it’s importing a ‘mount’ wich is similar to importing directly from the SxS card.

I don’t even have the EX1 or the card around at the moment 🙂 (I did a test with a rental camera, mine is still in backorder.) and I’ve just tried it with my copied footage, works fine.

Hope this helps you out!

Yep, importing the folder which contains the BPAV folder works! great, which means one does not need a Mac to copy BPAV folders while on location… good news for modern man!
Thanks Job
Tot siens (?)

Hi Mark,

I have a similar problem. I rented an EX1 and copied the files (BPAV and all) to my hard drive. When I use the XDCAM transfer software the videos appear but comes up as ‘no media’. The XDCAM clip browser reads the file fine. Is the only way to get XDCAM transfer software to properly see my video is to transfer the BPAV files back onto an SxS card?

Thanks, Myles

Hi there Myles
Actually the problem is sorted for me.
If you put the BPAV folder INSIDE ANOTHER folder, then get the transfer
utility to “see” that new folder, it will recognize the footage inside the
BPAV folder inside it.
