On my new OSX 10.9.1, I tried to install MPEG Streamclip but having difficulties. I’m using Canon C300 as a primary camera at the production company I work at. When I tried to use MPEG Streamclip to convert MXF to MOV, it didn’t work. Wondering if there any freeware or paid apps that can transcode MXF files that are NOT in their original folder structure? These are native canon C300 files that have been taken off the card, out of the folders. Anyone have an MPEG Streamclip alternative or MXF transcode app to transcode mxf files, with no intact structure?
