im told final cut 7 you can drop them right on timeline, he as final cut 9,
also gave them the mtf files off my avchd camera, what about those???

The BPAV folders just as they came off the cards from the camera is the way to transfer material to someone else - then you can use any NLE without any issues.

The only way I can get .MXF files into my FCP is to use XDCam Transfer which converts them to .MOV files.
