What is an MXF file?
Multimedia format used by digital audio and video programs; contains captured audio and video data as well as metadata that describes the media stored in the file; designed by Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) as a standard container for audio and video data; can be converted into other formats, such as .AVI or .MOV.
MXF files were designed to streamline workflows between different platforms, such as cameras, digital editing equipment, and servers. The file format adopts a subset of the Advanced Authoring Format (AAF), which was designed to help standardize the interchange of video between multiple vendors and platforms.
NOTE: Like any other media container format, the appropriate codec must be available in order to play the media stored within an MXF file.

Material Exchange Format (MXF) is a container format for professional digital video and audio media defined by a set of SMPTE standards. A typical example of its use is for delivering advertisements to TV stations and tapeless archiving of broadcast TV programs.[1]
Summary[edit]
MXF when used in form of 'Operational Pattern OP1A or OPAtom' be used as a 'container' or 'wrapper' or 'reference file' format which supports a number of different streams of coded 'essence', encoded in any of a variety of video and audio compression formats, together with a metadata wrapper which describes the material contained within the MXF file. Other 'Operational Patterns' can contain or reference multiple materials just like a simple timeline of a video editing program.
MXF has full timecode and metadata support, and is intended as a platform-agnostic stable standard for future professional video and audio applications.
MXF was developed to carry a subset of the Advanced Authoring Format (AAF) data model, under a policy known as the Zero Divergence Directive (ZDD). This theoretically enables MXF/AAF workflows between non-linear editing (NLE) systems using AAF and cameras, servers, and other devices using MXF.
Usage[edit]
From the year 2004, MXF was in the process of evolving from standard to deployment. The breadth of the standard was subject to lead to interoperability problems as vendors implement different parts of the standard or interpret misleading parts of the standard differently.
MXF is fairly effective at the interchange of D10 (IMX) material, mainly because of the success of the Sony eVTR and Sony's eVTR RDD to SMPTE. Workflows combining the eVTR, Avid NLE systems, and broadcast servers using MXF in coordination with AAF are now possible.
Long-GOPMPEG-2 material interchange between video servers is possible, as broadcasters develop application specifications they expect their vendors to implement.
As of Autumn 2005, there were major interoperability problems with MXF in broadcast post-production use. The two. The Macintosh File Type Code registered with Apple for MXF files is 'mxf ', including a trailing space.
Tools[edit]
MXF converters[edit]
This list represents some examples of free and Open-source products that support the MXF standard in a way that the reading and writing is compatible to professional products.
- FFmpeg, an open source project added support for muxing and demuxing of MXF and MXF D-10 in FFmpeg 0.5, released in March 2009.[4][5]
- Note that up to 2019, FFmpeg implements only the base MXF standard but does not provide vendor specific profiles, e.g. one cannot produce a MXF File that is compatible to Sony XDCAM devices due to missing header metadata entries (for further information see ffmpeg trac ticket 5097)
- GStreamer is an open source Material Exchange Format (MXF) library. Pitivi uses this tool.
- XMedia Recode[6]is an freeware converter tool that support MXF files.
- Ingex is an open-source (GPL) suite of software for the digital capture of audio and video data, developed and heavily used by the BBC. SDI capture is supported, as well as real-time transcoding (with MXF). Portions of the suite also act as a network file server for media files, as well as archiving to LTO-3 data tape.[7]

Availability of standards[edit]
SMPTE's top standards page has information, for the ordering of CD-ROMs, which would hold formal copy of the SMPTE standards. Judging by SMPTE's index, all of the standards, referenced above, would be contained on those CD-ROMs, as available from SMPTE.IRT Test Center contains up-to-date information on the status of the SMPTE documents.
