Hi,
When you open XDCAM Transfer, you can either import the files or, as I prefer (as a mac user, but I am sure it is a very similar process on a PC) right click on your .MXF and Open With…
This should then open XDCAM and say something along the lines of “look for source” – I don’t bother.
Once the files are there you should be able to view them. Remember, the .MXF is just a wrapper for another file – XDCAM reads the .MXF just like Avid does – by “unwrapping” the file, long enough for you to view it and then continue by exporting for NLE’s.
Hope this works for you.

Hi, (new poster here so excuse me if this is an incorrect way to reply)
I use Sony XDCAM Transfer – this reads .mxf files made by Avid and (if you download the patch for FCP) can also allow you to directly import into the FCP project you have open. It will convert it for use, and allow you to re-export, cut and whatever else you may need to do with it.
As well as that, it has a preview window, for showing your client directly what it is you/they want to view.
Cheers
