May 5, 2011 6:38 AM in response to oddshoesby Andy Mees,If you just need to review it, you could grab a demo copy of Avid Media Composer (or Adobe Premiere Pro) and look at it / convert it with that.

Dec 18, 2014 5:51 PM in response to oddshoesby AliceShen,If you want to just review it , you can totally download a free media player, like VLC. This player can support MXF, MTS natively play wihtout any wrapping. But if you want to load them info your FCP, then you can first update your FCP6 to FCPX , so this FCPX can support MXF now. If you don't want to update your FCP, I think most users don't want to have an update , then you can find yourself a converter to transcode your mxf files into apple prores 422 to render them in your FCP6 .

Dec 18, 2014 7:47 PM in response to AliceShenby Shane Ross,VLC crashes when I try to play an Avid MXF file. But yes, if you need to see it, you need to either get the demo for Avid Media Composer...and then put the file in a VERY specific file path and do a tricky thing to open it in Avid (If you do this, post back here and I'll walk you through it).
Or...EditReady from divergentmedia.com will play it and convert it. But know that Avid audio and video files are separate....so you can convert the video, but the audio won't follow...it's in another file.
Or get them to export a Quicktime file...tell them you can't deal with an Avid media file. Irresponsible for them to assume you could.

Dec 21, 2014 6:05 PM in response to Shane Rossby AliceShen,Yes , Shane , you are right ! I will try this EditReady to see the result .About MXF files play in VLC, the files came from my camera direclty, so I think this maybe the problem.
