User Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I have some old Sony XDCAM BPAV Folders from an EX1 that I want to convert to something I can easily work with. I was hoping to just rewrap the files (not transcode) into mov files. In the past, one would use the XDCAM Transfer tool, but that is dead. Sony have made another tool (Catalyst Edit) that will allow to transcode to other formats. I'd be happy with .mov but it's not an option. One option is MXF but I have no experience with this. Can anyone recommend a codec that won't balloon the files and will be supported in the future... or the near future? I can import and open the files in FCPX... FCP does something where it rewraps(?) the files with a .mov extension... but when I import these into PPro they don't play properly. Anyone? Spent the past 6 hours trying to find software that would 'batch convert' (but not transcode) BPAV folders... ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 Say it with me... EditReady. I took the unmodified files that FCP recreated for itself (in its Original Media folder) from the BPAV folders, and then fed them to EditReady which made short work of rewrapping them. Somewhere in the future, I hope someone gives a fuck about all this all this media we are all generating and giving our lives to make... preserve.
