Is all the footage HD or did you shoot a mix of SD/HD? If it’s SD, the transfer app doesn’t support SD (need to use Log and Transfer or XDCAM Browser).
I understand that you typically record multiple clips but how many clips are in the actual BPAV in question? Some screen shots would be helpful.

How many clips should be on the card? If you browse the BPAV folder in Finder, how many clips do you see there?
-
check the Filter By Status buttons in the upper left, you may be filtering out clips.

The latest version is 2.12 and it’s available from the Sony parts and software site:

If you still get the database warning when you try to launch the app, don’t panic. It just means that you haven’t updated in a while and the SQL database used by XDT has since been updated. Go to user/library/application support/sony xdcam transfer/databases and trash the SQL database file. A new one will automatically be created as soon as you relaunch Transfer. The database keeps track of sources in your cache and any sub clips you’ve created. If you need this information, move/rename the old database file instead of deleting it; this way you’ll still have all this info in the event you need to return to it later.

Sony Media Services may be able to recover the files if you have not written anything to the card since reformatting it..877 440 3453

Hi Richard,
You should use Transfer v 2.12 or XDCAM Browser 1.1. Also, the file transfers are done over USB, not i.LINK. i.LINK is strictly for a real-time video stream.
Best,
Ian

The setup file saved to the card contains all 6 picture profiles.

Wow. Are you sure you were able to reconstruct the whole clip and not just import the Proxy? If so, I had no Idea Edius could do this. Other NLEs will generally only pick up the Proxy. I will try this on our Edius box..

In my experience importing the raw video and audio MXFs into Avid MC doesn’t work and generates a “you can’t import this file into a bin” or “MXF I/O” error..

Hi Joe,
Sorry, but no, the files need to be copied from the correct directory. There’s no way that Avid can link virtual volumes containing the raw files.
XDCAM Browser and Clip Browser can be used to read both EX and optical XDHD. Also we’d strongly recommend the standalone MXF player, PDZ-VX10. if you’re running Windows. It plays all Sony MXFs, full res or proxy.
