Oh-oh.

Spending the wee hours last night reading all the great things everybody had to say about CatDV I just went ahead and pulled the trigger first thing this morning, only to find that it can’t read my Sony EX3 BPAVs.

On first glance it appears that I need to purchase a plug-in. Any suggestions on how to proceed the most economically and efficiently?

Thanks!

Brian

Thank you, Ian. The logging info, however, doesn’t seem to make it from Transfer to Browser in many of my archiving attempts. Open it in XD Transfer, and all my user data is there – open the same thing from Browser from any of my three drives, and the new clip titles display along with the comments only sometimes. The rest of the clips only display the repetitive Clip and File names and none of my data.

Undoubtedly something I did wrong while I was logging and transferring, but you would think that if the data was entered it would remain appended reliably not only through the two Sony programs, but into FCP as well.

Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

Hi, Don:

Thanks for pointing me in this direction. I spent a couple of hours looking at CatDV and it looks like it might indeed be the solution.

I am logging on a daily basis, but there’s been wasted effort owing to the kludginess of the mix’n’match vibe of the various programs.

Thanks for taking the time.
