The way to do it (for now – AUGUST 2009) is Download the camera chip in VEGAS 9 using DEVICE EXPLORER – under “VIEW” (in VEGAS 9) and it will bring your clips into VEGAS to handle them. If you already brought the whole BPAV File into your hard drive, you can get all those clips named and trimmed in the XDCAM CLIP BROWSER EX- THEN EXPORT THEM FROM the XDCAM EX Clip Browser to another folder (hit shift & highlight all the clips you want to CONVERT TO .MXF Files at once) using FILE – EXPORT – Export convert to MXF for NLE – and they are just as beautiful as VLC. They don’t crash like VLCs in high quality. The cameras firewire can only transfer 25 MPS so the higher resolution settings on the camera are no good to plain old “play” through the firewire.

We need better workflow. Also your XDCAM Clip Browser needs a fix for the display, it looks like “I Dreamed of Jeannie” all W-a-v-e-y on playback, like it needs an adjustment to the video interlace (which there currently is NO adjustment for.)
