Hey Craig,
found your posts saying you were able to get the native files to play on the PS3 by changing their extension from .MP4 to .ts – hoping you can give some details on this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated – thanks.

Thanks Malcom…
I did come across this solution when I was searching… however it has to be a Mac-based workflow.

There have been several posters who said they had success just changing the extension. The first posts I came across were from Craig Seeman who said all he did was change the extension to .ts – others said they put the files into a “VIDEO” folder with .m2t extensions – and others say .m2ts. I’m hoping Craig will chime in and give some details…

still no native editing for AVCHD, but they did include it for AVC-Intra.
one cool thing is you can author/burn a Blu-ray disc straight from the FCP 7 timeline- still need a Blu-ray burner though.

What about blue painters tape? It is a very light adhesive – just don’t leave it on for long periods of time (like days).

SCORE! I finally did find that folder (wonder why spotlight couldn’t find it). Anyway copied and pasted the Ex settings Into the Final Cut Pro System Support /Custom Settings folder, trashed prefs/plists and relaunched. I still don’t have them in the ‘Format’ drop down of easy setup, but I was able to select them in the ‘Use’ drop down. All is good again…
Craig, thanks for all the help.

sorry for this one… but where are the prefs? I’m new to Leopard and FCP6 and can’t find the ‘Final Cut Pro User Data’ folder like in Tiger/FCP5… tried spotlight and nothing.
BUT, I did find those pesky ‘EX’ easy setup settings in a folder titled “Final Cut Pro Additional Easy Setups” in my apps folder right below the Final Cut Pro app. I copied and pasted the 10 EX settings and now need to trash prefs/plists…. or should I just try to launch FCP and see what happens?

Just checked and there are no XDCAM ‘EX’ settings, only ‘HD’… any way I can copy/paste them in, trash prefs and such,and move on? I see those options when I change the sequence compressor setting – would they be somewhere? Also (just guessing), would Quicktime be the culprit? I’m on 7.6 – from what I have read in the past, Quicktime updates can screw things up.

I do have Clip Browser – launched it, restarted and still the same. I loaded FCS2 (6.0) and went straight to 6.0.5 in software updater. I read that 6.0.2 gave the option for ‘XDCAM EX 1080p24’ in easy setup, but wouldn’t 6.0.5 include that? That’s the only thing I can think of causing this problem. I can go into the sequence settings and manually change the compressor setting to ‘XDCAM EX 1080p24’, but I have to do that for every new sequence – no easy setup option for that in my 6.0.5 version.
Man, I’m dreading having to do a re-install. If so, can I just do FCP and not have to do all the media again? Just trying to avoid all those hours again only to end up with the same problem…

wow… that doesn’t sound good.
btw, where did you get your camera?
