XAVC plugin PDZK-LT2 download is dead, does someone still have it?

An old legacy machine with a FCP 7.0.3 complete installation including the Sony XAVC plugin has died on a client and there is one project which just got finished which still needs exporting, but the legacy system I just installed to export that project can't read the Sony XAVC MXF files.
A was careful to archive all the old installers including the Automatic Duck stuff to still be able to work from FCP 7 in cases like this, but sadly, I never expected Sony to not provide the XAVC plugin, anymore.

Does someone still have the installer laying around, somewhere?
This was the original link:
www.sonycreativesoftware.com/de/pdzk-lt2And that's it in the wayback machine. Sadly, the download itself was not saved by the internet archive:https://web.archive.org/web/20170803161948/http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/de/download/pdzk-lt2#download
Thanks so much for any help. Much appreciated.

I have had a look in the archives and I have the .dmg. I have uploaded it and the release notes to Dropbox:
www.dropbox.com/s/effdsyyak4esll6/PDZKLT2%20v10.zip?dl=0

This is PDZKLT2 v10 and the release notes only mention FCP 10.0.4 or later, but may be by that time they'd forgotten about FC7.

Hope it works for you.

Good luck!

Tell me where it's located on the system of a G3 / G4 / G5 & I'll dig one out and send it to you.

Sorry for getting back to you both so late.
Thanks for the 1.0-version download, it sadly didn't work, but we found an old while MacBook that had all the right software installed, so we were able to export the project, and a few days ago, the Sony elite support got back to me with a download link to the most recent version, so I thought I'd share it here, now, to save a potential future person who runs into the same problem the hassle:

Cheers and thanks again,

That's fine. Glad it worked out for you in the end.

Just to mention that the downloaded file doesn't appear to have anything in the zip and is only 444bytes in size. It opens up into another zip, ad infinitum.

Yes, thanks. Upload to GoogleDrive somehow was botched.
Here it is in it's full glory:

Wonderful – thank you.

Handy to have in the archive!

Here's an older version of the XDCAM transfer software for FCP 6/7:

pro.sony/en_GB/support-resources/pdw-f75...tware/mpengb00000155

No idea if it works, or if there is a newer version floating around somewhere (for use with FCP 7 and not FCP(X)).

If I was using FCP 7 to edit, I'd use Sony's Catalyst Browse application to import and transcode the older XDCAM media (on a newer Mac), then transfer the media to the system running FCP 7:

Hope this helps...

Hi,
Actually tried this xdcam transfer link before, unfortunately it’s now working for me, thanks.
There was someone here who got the plugin from the Sony support team, i think this is my best chance to get that specific plugin for FCP7.
How can i contact them and ask for this plugin, any ideas?
Can’t seem to find it online anywhere…
Cheers

How about starting here:

support-contact-us

Hi again and thanks for helping,
after contacting Sony, they said they can't help... they don't have that plug in anymore.
Tried downloading Catalyst Browse like mentioned here, seems to be working fine, but can't register and get a serial number for it.
Anyone here by any chance had luck working and registering Catalyst browse on an old Mac?
Any help would be amazing, thanks
