Method 2. To solve the incompatible trouble you'd better change Canon XF100 MXF a native format for importing to Premiere Pro CS6. To get the best quality with 5.1 sound, you can MXF to MPG. If you also want to play it with QuickTime, you can reformat XF100 MXF to MOV videos. If you want to get a smaller file for quickly editing, you can encode Canon XF100 MXF to WMV.
