I made an ffmpeg wrapper so it's just point and click. I figure other people might be interested so I'll temporarily post it here:

  http://www.entitynine.com/xdcamex/XDCAM_EX_to_Avid_0.5.zip      

If you set your import settings in Avid properly (maintain, square pixels and 709 color space), Avid will Fast Import your quicktime with no additional transcoding (besides the mp4 to quicktime translation). This isn't an Avid product and it's the first version, so use at your own risk. That said, it's worked successfully for me for getting footage into MCSoft on both PC & Mac and also into a Nitris.  

Brad    

Thanks Brad.    
I have tested it and have to say it looks promising. So I'm looking forward to see the 720/50p version soon.]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jan 2008 10:32:26 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.bolanski.com/ex/home/ex1-to-avid-fast-import/</link><guid>http://www.bolanski.com/ex/home/ex1-to-avid-fast-import/</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two more]]></title><description><![CDATA[We just got SN 72 and 320, and the SBAC-US10 SxS reader.

My hosting provider www.one.com didn't like that I consumed to much bandwidth. So they closed my site down. I just talked to them and they said I can't do like this. But they couldn't say what I have done.    

I'm going to host clips somewhere else instead.
    
To ONE I have to say -"You suck big time!"     

I have always paid for my hosting in time, there is no limits in my contract regarding bandwidth! So don't even go there! It clearly states that there is FREE TRAFFIC on all accounts on your start page.

The source file that is shipped with Clip Browser is a snapshot from 070502 so any newer versions could do whatever Sony is using it for inside the Clip Browser software. My guess is they are using it to do the unwrap to mxf thing.    
Donwload win32 binary here:  
  http://ffdshow.faireal.net/mirror/ffmpeg/      

Knowing this you can use ffmpeg as a stand alone solution for conversion. I use it for EX1.mp4 to DV25 direct conversions. And EX1.mp4 demuxing to Mpeg2 and wav and for a test we used it to make Avid DNxHD 36Mbit (Only 1080 and no sound support yet) and a wav file that makes is usable in Avid.    

So there are ways of getting stuff into Avid already.    

EX1.mp4 to DV25 (no need to unwrap in Clip Browser).  
ffmpeg –i inputfile.mp4 –f  dv –s 720x576 output.dv    

EX1.mp4 to Mpeg2 and wav.  
ffmpeg -y -i inputfile.mp4 -vcodec copy -f mpeg2video outputfile.m2v -acodec pcm_s16le outputfile.wav    

A tip from Baptiste (ffmpeg dev) on how to do DNxHD from EX1 1080i50  
ffmpeg -i inputfile.mp4 -vcodec dnxhd -b 185Mb -flags +ildct 
-acodec pcm_s16le outputfile.mov    

And my version on how to do DNxHD from EX1 1080p25  
ffmpeg -i inputfile.mp4 -vcodec dnxhd -b 185Mb -acodec pcm_s16le outputfile.mov    

My old solution
EX1.mp4 to DNxHD 36Mbit and wav.  
ffmpeg -y -i inputfile.mp4 -vcodec dnxhd -b 36Mb -an outputfile.mov && ffmpeg -y -i inputfile.mp4 -vn -acodec pcm_s16le outputfile.wav    


Here are some batch scripts of the above

The clips are in SP Mode 1440x1080/50i 25Mbit CBR. This is the mode that is most like the XDCAM HD that works in Avid.  
This is the mp4 clip only, I don't think you need the meta data from our cameras.    

We will test to see if it works in our Media Composers later on. (Edit: They work in a 1080i50 HDV Project)

  Indoor Tennis 2 OFFLINE      

Thanks goes out to our local tennis club for letting us take the footage.    

And here is a clip in HQ Mode 1280x720/25p 35Mbit
