For CatDV Pegasus or 11

Please make sure that you have the 'CatDV MXF Option'. This option enables CatDV to parse for metadata in MXF files, XDCAM EX MP4 files, and ancillary files, and it enables CatDV to properly archive the folder structure of certain camera formats. Please contact Squarebox (the makers of CatDV) to see what camera formats are currently supported with the 'CatDV MXF Option'. While our products can work with CatDV without this option, we do highlty recommend it for a more complete (and better) workflow.
