Hello Everybody,
we have here video material from sony cameras, witch comes in XDCAM HD 35. The problem is that it is recorder in mp4 containers and Resolve (12) can not read this.

So we try to multiplex the stream new in a mxf container. I try it with ffmpeg, but it doesn't work. When we re-encode them with the sony content browser the files are ok in Resolve. But we don't wont to re-encode them.

The funny thing is, that my file from ffmpeg looks identical in mediainfo to the file from sony content browser:

Is there any metadata, what mediainfo doesn't show, and Resolve need? Or any other idea?

Muxing in mov is not a good solution to, because it only works on mac, and not on windows.

My ffmpeg command looks like this:

Code: Select all: fmpeg -i input.MP4 -timecode 17:28:07:10 -metadata creation_time="2015-11-09 11:27:11.000" -c:v copy -filter_complex [0:a]channelsplit[a][b] -map 0:0 -map [a] -map [b] -f mxf -y output.MXF

See if ClipToolz Convert v2.0 will re-wrap them to .MOV. Works in Windows. Downloadable from the Dropbox link at page bottom: http://hdcinematics.com/convert-V2.html

Use the XDCAM TRANSFER app (free fom Sony)
This rewraps the XDCAM footage into .mov files which DaVinci will easily read.

Thank you for your answers! I have try both, ClipToolz and XDCAM Transfer. From both I cannot import the clips in DaVinci (is this because I have the Lite Version?). It only shows the Sound, not the Video. I have Read that in Windows Quick Time needs a extra Codec for XDCAM. I found here Calibrated{Q} XD Decode - with that I get it to work, but I only have a demo License from it.

In OSX I can use the mov files, for that I also can use ffmpeg to rewrap, but Windows is here the problem. So I thought I use mxf, because theoretical DaVinci can work with mxf to.

Edit:
I found a way, not the best but it works. First multiplex the files with ffmpeg to mxf, and after that rewrite the mxf with the bmx ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/bmxlib/?source=typ_redirect ) tools:

Code: Select all: bmxtranswrap --rt 1.0 -o output.MXF --gf "input.MXF"
