Kinda. Yes the native XDCAM recording on the camera is a fully compatible format for PProCS3.2.0 (Mac/PC)
When it is transfered into FCP it is wrapped into a QT XDCAM Apple only codec. That’s what can’t be opened on a PC.
At the final Export stage FCP can export a QT conversion in the ProRes codec at the same frame size and frame rate.
That you can use in PPro3.2 on the PC. If you are using PPro on the mac you can use all and any formats that FCP uses, if you are using the same machine with all the codecs installed.

The problem is that the codec used by FCP with XDCAM media is not actually XDCAM that the camera records. It’s an Apple Intermediate Codec, which means it’s only available on the Mac Platform. I find this nosing of Apple to the PC world annoying at the least, but it also means that Apple can’t actually use native codecs. So it’s not a future proof system as it must convert all material to a QT file before it can edit.
Sorry about my rant. It’s impossible to use a rendered out MOV XDCAM Apple based Codec on a PC. It must be converted to ProRes, which you can use a PC downloadable decoder, meaning it will let you use it, but you can’t export back out to ProRes. Sadly all clients think they know what’s what if they own any one of these items: tv, camcorder, computer, mac, mac, ipod, iphone, mac, or a mac.
MOV is only a wrapper, like AVI is only a wrapper. The codec can be one of dozens. QT MOV doesn’t mean its PC compatible.

Hi david,
don’t select tracks, select the clips themselves and just use the trim tools (ripple) and all selected bits will follow suit.

HDV uses compressed audio and not full 48K PCM. It needs to be decoded.

You do the time remapping in the timeline. Once you set the keyframes with the arrow and holding ctl or cmd (mac) you pull down for slower or up for faster the yellow band in the clip when its in the timeline. the clip wil dynamically sdjust the position of the following keyframes you made to compensate the speed difference.

In QT look at the Movie Information (Apple + i Mac or Ctl + i PC). I’m guessing its one of two types. Apple Intermediate HDV codec or ProRes422. if its the latter ProRes, you can download the pc decoder for it from mac.com (google it). if its the former, Apple HDV, your out of luck, apple refuse to make this codec cross platform. You’ll need to re-export it.

You must have a trial version. only the full version has mpeg exporting.

You are capturing HDV yes? When its capturing it won’t show the video on the capture screen. It’s telling you to watch the video through the camera (hardware) not the capture screen on the computer. This is normal for CS3.
