I just got a sony xd cam and am having trouble transfering the information on the s x s card onto a computer format.
I have the software downloaded so I can see the camera as a drive and the video is being stored as mpeg 4.
My problem is the MP4 video files are not recognizable by anything. When I try to play them in QT I get the message displayed in attached image.
Any suggestions friends?

Plugging the sxs card directly into the express card slot yields the same results.
Did you download the XDCam transfer software?
Install it, then in FCP, go to the menu File > Import > Sony XDCam.
This will launch the XDCam transfer software. You can specify where you want to put the imported files in the Preferences Pane under the Import tab.
This will ingest the clips and put the clip into your open FCP project automatically.

Meg,
thank you. I thought I had done that but I guess not.
Cannot view source video in FCP with Sony XD-cam PMW-ex1r.
