“Hi, there, I need a good batch converter to convert P2 .mxf files from Panasonic AJ-PX800 for use in Final Cut Pro 7. The converter I already installed on my Mac can convert the files, but when I import them to FCP 7, I get an error message: File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. Any clue what could be causing this to happen? Or can you please kindly recommend a reliable converter that would do what I want with useful files maintaining good quality?”

Cause the AJ-PX800 records 1080/60i as well as 24p, 30p and 720p HD/SD multiple format, with that, picture quality and recorded data rate can be selected from AVC-Intra or AVC-LongG according to the application. Due to the limited video codec, that’s the causes why some Panasonic AJ-PX800 users failed in importing P2 MXF files to FCP 6/7. In addition, they also failed in importing P2 MXF files to Aperture, DaVinci Resolve, MOV and etc. If you got some useful P2 MXF footage converting tips, how to enjoy editing AJ-PX800 P2 MXF in FCP 6/7 will not be a difficult workflow.
