It's incredible fast and imports metadata too. We tested Calibrated but it's very slow in FCP. We just purchased the new P2 Flow from MXF4MAC. It’s incredible fast and imports metadata too.

So I removed the others and only have Raylight.<br/><br/>But the timecode is embedded on the VIDEO file, not any of the other folders in the contents folder, so timecode should carry. Reguardless, if you lack a proper P2 structure, then Raylight should be your tool of choice. <br/><br/>And don't do that again....try to keep the structure whenever possible.

I'm hoping they ramp up their codec compatibility and bring the goodness to other MXF wrapped codecs too thanks Shane, so Calibrated’s component seems to be a great choice for P2 users … I’m hoping they ramp up their codec compatibility and bring the goodness to other MXF wrapped codecs too

Not in QT nor in FCP. In fact, looking at the picture provided on the web site for that software, they have a SHOW MOVIE PROPERTIES window open, and AUDIO is not listed. <br/><br/>When I uninstalled MXF4QT, and reinstalled Calibrated, and then opened that in QT and looked at the movie properties, I did see Video, all 4 audio channels, and timecode.<br/><br/>And on the MXF4QT site...I don't see any pricing nor any way to buy it.

And on the MXF4QT site…I don’t see any pricing nor any way to buy it.

I'll try again, as I have some free time on my hands now. What I like about that one is that according to the site it too retains metadata.<br/><br/>OK...here I go, trying it again.
