The file was corrupt! I have made new files – all sizes and codecs – everything works fine now 🙂

Yes, it’s AVC-G25.

QuickTime 7 Pro plays the file, but something is wrong:
QT says the file is 5,3 GB – it is not…it’s 238 MB in Finder and that’s right (it’s just one minute of 720p50).
QT says it plays with 746 Mbit/s!!! That’s also totally crazy – it’s a LongG file at 25 Mbit/s.
So – I have to make another file for testing, but the cam is not here now. And it’s scary if the camera make corrupted files (I have latest firmware).
I will do different files, maybe it’s just 720p50 that is a strange bastard.
I’ll be back.

I’m comunicating with Apple now – they want to know what camera (AJ-PX270EJ) I used to create the file. The file is alson not on card – it’s copied from card to hard disk. The drama goes on. 🙂

Nope. Doesn’t work. Updated to FCPX 10.1.4 and Pro Video Formats 2.0 software update – still can’t import an MXF file with Panasonic LongG codec: “None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again.”
Sad bad job, Apple. You can do better than this.
I have reported it. One of the main things about this update was to support MXF LongG – Apple is bragging about it – and just this specific thing is NOT working. What can I say? Don’t they even test the updates themself? Maybe they just dp theoretical checks – reading the code – actually not trying to import anything in real life? 😀 -
I have the latest of everything…always :-).
My succes must be ’cause of the MXFImporter.component and I now know where I got it from – it’s from Hamburg Pro Media. I have MXF4mac installed and the QT plug makes my Compressor also like MXF – even if it’s Panasonic Long-G codec inside 🙂 -
I just drop the MXF file into Compressor.
(I have a plug named “MXFImporter.component” in the QuickTime plugin folder. If this plug is Apple standard – or if I have installed it when installing all those apps I’ve tried past years – I don’t know)

I’m using Intra100 for post, but sometimes I’m just shoting a long show and it’s going right to archive without any post…and the I use Long-G. Not even apps like MXF Converter or MXF Wrapper Pro can read the Panasonic Long-G. The strange thing is that Compressor swallow this codec and I can re-pack it to “ordinary” H.264/.mov for archiving :-D. That’s strange…Compressor takes it, but no other app!
I really hope that they fix this – a Panasonic AJ-PX270 gets much more useful if you can use all codecs/settings – it gets more versatile.(I just notised that QT7pro can play this MXF files with Long-G – maybe that’s why also Compressor can take them)

For me it works all fine now – latest FCPX and the brand new MB update. I’m sure Looks now render faster than before – nice surprice. Mojo is still a slow muddy hog though…but maybe it was no update for Mojo in this package from MB. Looks is my main tool for style fixing, so I’m plesed. Red Giant is obviosly a very fast and dedikated company – I wish other (for example Apogee) had this serious speed with updates :-D.

Red Giant just released an update :-). They are fast!
