 How to open bwf on mac machine
Hi

I use Fostex CR-500 to record. I can record fine when formatting this
to Audio-CD.
These files is easily imported in Logic 8.02(Macintosh).
But when I want to record in 24/44,the Fostex manual says that I have
to BWF format the disc. The recording proces works fine.
But then I can´t import the files to logic.
When opening in finder I can however see the file on the disc.
Any solutions or should I try a Windows machine?

with regards

Leif

Use software to convert the Broadcast wave file to a standered
24/44,48 file and then import. There are many software solutions to
this problem.

Note that BWF is essentially WAV with an extra chunk in its header. Most
WAV capable editors will read it, though some will require that you
change the suffix to .WAV.

What happens when you try to import the file?

Hi

Today I tried my father's Windows machine.
I could see all files and they all ended with
waw.
On my Macbook I can't even see the files. Only some directory ending with.

The only solution for me now is to buy a sound device to transfer
the files in real time.

Mac won't let you rename the files?
Seems absurd to buy something to get around
simply renaming the file.

Hi

I cannot even see the files in finder.
In mean time I have read about the UDF 1.02.
It seems that it is only supported by MacOS 10.5.
I have 10.4
