AVC-Intra MXF is a very popular format for Panasonic P2HD camcorders, including the excellent AJ-HPX3700(AJ-HPX3700G). But some HPX3700 users may have got headaches because the recorded AVC-Intra 100 MXF videos are unsurpported by iMovie. Many users want to import the video to iMovie for further editing, but they couldn'd see any file in iMovie.
To solve the question, you'd better transcode the format to a editing format for your Mac iMovie. As far as I know, the best format is AIC, so I advice you to use the P2 MXF to AIC Converter to do the conversion. I have successfully used the software to transcode HPX3700 Panasonic MXF to AIC video with the best quality. It works fine and has many ither useful functions, like merging files, deinterlacing 1080i MXF, changing video settings, converting AVC-Intra to any other format, ect. I believe it will be your best MXF convert assistant.
