    What is your process to get your FCP 6 stuff into FCP X?

    Also what are the specs of the files?

    do the clips play with audio in the Event browser?

     

    then, hit shift-1 => apply with a+v

    (you probably incidently hit shift-2 => apply video only)

    As Karsten suggests, make sure you edit video and audio to the Timeline:

    FCP doesn't import in the AVI from the camera. Something else must have happened here. If you can reimported from the tape directly into FCP or in the QT player you wouldn't have this problem.

    Try MPEG Streamclip. Export to QuickTime. The audio should be Uncompressed PCM. There is a Batch List function for multiple source files.

    AVI is just a container/media wrapper, that is not the problem.

     

    But Microsoft, in its endless wisdom, created its own DV-Format, DV Type(1) - which is proprietary = exclusively Windows only.

     

    Two options:

    You're a UNIX-wizzard and can code a dozen lines to teach ffmpg to transcode DV Type(1) into standard .dv

     

    Or…

    Transfer all AVIs onto an ext. HDD (Windows formatted, for sure), visit a friend with a Windows 7 PC (do you know, latest W10 comes without any mediaplayer? Would love to be fly on the wall when such decisions were made....) ), and convert each AVI to mpeg4 ...

    If the material inside the AVI container is proper DV, then MPEG Streamclip may be able to rewrap it to Quicktime without exporting - which means no need to reencode. File->Save As... and choose MOV from the little popup menu below the file list.
