Open MXF File
MXF (Material Exchange Format) is a video/audio container format, which is defined by the SMPTE standard, solving the problems of non-professional formats.
Today MXF file is mostly used in professional cameras to store video, audio and other data.
Many professional camcorders use the MXF format, such as the Panasonic HVX200, the Canon XF300 / XF305, the Sony XDCAM.
A typical utility for its use is to send announcements to television stations and to archive television programs without the need to use tapes.
Support for MXF files
MXF format is not supported by many editing tools, players and devices, so if you want to play videos in this format, you can only convert the format or use a player that supports this type of encoding.
Converting MXF to other common video formats makes it more compatible, thus giving you the ability to play and edit them more easily.
If you want to play the MFX file on mobile devices like Android or iPhone, you should convert it to MP4 format.
Software to open an MXF file
It is important to highlight that this is a media container, the appropriate codec must be available to play the media stored within an MXF file.
