Split clips at DVinfo.net

Hi.
I have shot a concert with an EX1 and an EX3. The shoot lasted for more than one hour. We shot on 16 GB cards and one 32 GB card. Now when I import the footage through XDCam transfer I see that what I thought would be one clip only, has turned into 6- 7 clips. I also get the message that some of the clips are incomplete and has been spanned over another card.

Is there a way to somehow stitch these clips together as one? I will be bringing them in to FCP for multicam editing.

Thanks.

ClipBrowser with CRC on to copy to Hard Drive
XDCAM Transfer will tile them together if you load all the BPAV folders.

Craig, thanks. After much fiddling about I found the solution through Clip Browser. It seems that long XDCam EX files are segmented in 4 GB files. At least these clips were. Clip Browser identifies the clip as subclips or spanned clips if recorded on two cards. I had to make a new folder on my harddrive, named it joined files and copied all clips to that folder within Clip Browser. I could then use XDcam Transfer to import the clip as one clip to FCP.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
