P2 Viewer for Mac: P2 Log Pro

All I can say is try the demo. It will repair one MXF file. Basically, P2 Log Pro can recreate a new CONTENTS folder from just MXFs. If there are any XML files it will use it and repair it, if none exist it will make a new XML file itself. If audio files exist it will auto link those to the video MXF

Dan, your demo program will NOT make a new XML file if none exist, this is the issue I have, the CLIP folder is empty and after I tried to repair one clip, it was still empty on the new volume it created.

BenB, I'm not really sure this is a mac issue since I lost this clip folder, because it happened on a pc (that's what I copied it to). The issue I have is I cannot rebuild the xml files, not even with the demo of P2 Log Pro.
 
Well thanks to avid and my trusty old pc, I got my clips back. It is a wacky way of doing things but I opened the MXF files up in avid, saved as a quicktime ref file. Then opened up procoder and loaded the quicktime ref and exported it at HD mpeg2 file (m2p) renamed to m2v and brought back into FCP. I had to export the audio seperate but it worked. And I compared the clips before and after on the same monitor and I couldn't see a difference from the encodeing. A little time consuming but it worked. my 2 cents on the repair function of P2 log Pro is don't waste your money, it doesn't rebuild XML files for your clips, I'm somewhat confused that they would claim this before testing it. And this software is not cheap either!

Dan, I would love to see the same repair functionality on the PC. I was given some media that was missing the audio and xmls. It would be great to reconstruct a correct CONTENTS directory with MOS video.

Any plans for a PC product?

Wrong. It does create the entire P2 Volume including the XML and lastclip.txt (except the bitmap). Could you have been trying to save to a locked folder?? You can test one repair with the P2LogPro demo. We've been able to repair clips that FCP can't ...

Dan, I'm not knockin your program here but I didn't try and save to a locked folder. I didn't work for me, and it didn't work for another dvxuser on this forum. If I were you I would try and figure out why instead of just saying :WRONG! A lot of users here would be buying your program just for the repair function it it worked flawlessly. I'm not saying you haven't got it to work, I'm saying with just good MXF files of both audio and video on my end, it didn't repair one clip like the demo is supposed to do. I'm lookin for help here, not sarcasm, but that may be due to the fact that I haven't bought your program yet. Is that it?
