Thanks, I do not have FCP, have Mac version 10.5. When I insert the card into the card reader I then open the XDCAM Clip Browser, its menu recoginzes the card, I double click and the clips play in the viewer. But that same footage, downloaded to a external drive will not play in Clip Browser, Clip Browser recognizes the hard drive in its menu, but when I double click, nothing happens.
