MXF to Premiere Pro CS3 import problem

[mcginley]

When I try to import the mxf files into Premiere Pro CS3 v3.2.0 the five unique mxf files show up as 4 duplicates of the first mxf file and the last mxf. I can see and play all the files in P2forge with no problems. When I copied over the cards I was careful to maintain the file stucture and the txt file. I've tried doing a folder import and individual file imports, but it still shows these duplicates. Has anyone run into this before? The footage was shot 720PN.

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.

I found out that Premiere CS3 stitches the mxf files together saving the time to splice them together. When you import the mxf files as a folder it creates duplicates that can be anoying, but all the content is still there. Apparently this also happens with XDCAM EX also. Thanks to Eddie Lotter in the Adobe forum.
