Hi everyone.
This has been killing me for the last week! So basically Im shooting IV's that need to be quickly imported back into a laptop and then put into Itunes for viewing on an apple TV system. Unfortunately the PDW700 shoots in .MXF format and I need to convert the files into Itunes playable .MOV format. My initial thought was live capture straight into Avid, FCP or alike and capture the input as a .MOV however as far as im aware live capture from the PDW700 is impossible. If anyone knows otherwise of a way to live capture with this camera, I would be eternally grateful!
The second option is hooking the camera up to the laptop after shooting the IV's and using the XDcam transfer programme to quickly convert to a .MOV. Given the Interviews are only a few minutes the transfer only takes two minutes or so. The down side is although they are converted to .MOV files they wont play on Itunes. If anyone knows a way to make these files playable or even why they aren't playing that would be such a massive help. Likewise if anyone knows of another programme to quickly convert .MXF to .MOV that would be great. the iv's are roughly 4 minutes, however unfortunately the conversion of the file also needs to only take a few minutes which it makes it harder still!
Thanks for all your help and advice :-)
