From a P2 card? Do you have the original directory structure from the P2 card?

These .mxf files were sent from Isreal on a harddrive as single clips. Here is the info on the clips:
VIDEO MPEG-1/2Video (mpgv) Resolution: 1280x720 Frame Rate: 25 AUDIO Codec FCM S16 LE (s16l) Sample Rate: 48000 Hz Bits per sample: 16 No other information was provided. They open and play beautifully in VLC, but I do not know of a way to convert to .mov files for a FCP project.
why not just use them as is in Final Cut Pro and save the time and hassle - this excellent program will let you do that
MXF Import program
Try installing p2 Cms from panasonic. There should be an mxf importer component for QuickTime that will be installed together with the software. You will then be able to import it into FCP. But I've only used that with panasonic p2, so try it and see if it works for your case. The audio may be an issue, though.

Actually the plug in you require is only $179.95 [www.calibratedsoftware.com] And if it is the only way to convert your clips then its worth it - charge it back to the client. For instant answers to more than one hundred common FCP questions, check out the LAFCPUG FAQ Wiki here : [www.lafcpug.org]
You may be able to convert your .mxf files in FCP Log and Transfer (File Menu -> "Log and Transfer" or "Shift-Command 8" ) if, as Strypes asked, you have the original folder structure from the camera. In my case, recent files from a Panasonic HVX-200 came with folders and a "lastclip.txt" as follows...
CONTENTS AUDIO CLIP ICON PROXY VIDEO VOICE LASTCLIP.TXT If these came in a single folder, keep them in there. If not, you may need to create one. If you are missing any files or folders and you you prefer to keep the action in FCP and have the time, ask your client to resend you the files with all the information. Use the Action Menu to choose your output file format. As you may know, Apple ProRes 422 plays nicely with FCP. Here's a video tutorial on using Log and Transfer... Keep in mind that you can keep logging while transfer occurs. If this method isn't an option for you, one of these third-party apps may be the best solution, and, as Ben said, you can charge it to the client. Let them know why you had to do it. I hope this helps. Kcir
