Now, after spending like 450 euro's for Flip4Mac MXF import, here's what i DON'T want to read:

'NAB: Sony to bring XDCAM Transfer to Final Cut Pro
By Jim Dalrymple

Sony and Apple were showing a new application that Sony built specifically for Mac OS X. More specifically, the application will only work with Apple’s Final Cut Pro video editing software.

XDCAM Transfer will allow users of Final Cut Pro to download media directly from Sony’s XDCAM HD cameras. Users can begin editing the media as soon as the application starts downloading it from the camera, according to Apple.

Sony representatives did not return calls with pricing information or release dates.'

So, does this mean that Sony will also bring MXF import to the Mac? And if so, will it be free? In that case i would like to know what the advantages of MXF import product really are.

Also, what i forgot on the wishlist: Currently there is no way to convert/import the low-res 'proxy' mxf's used for offline editing. I hope MXF-import 2.0 will also be able to do this.
