What is MXF?
Material eXchange Format (MXF) is a container format for professional digital video and audio media defined by a set of SMPTE standards. DVCPRO HD is codified as SMPTE 370M; the DVCPRO HD tape format is SMPTE 371M, and the MXF Op-Atom format used for DVCPRO HD on P2 cards is SMPTE 390M.
MXF generated cameras
The two data-recording camera systems which produce MXF are Sony's XDCAM and Panasonic's DVCPRO P2, for example the popular Panasonic AG-HVX200 DVCPRO HD camcorder.
MXF editing software (NLE)
Professional non-lining editing software that can work with MXF files natively include Avid, Adobe Premiere Pro 3.1 or above, Sony Vegas, and GrassValley Edius. About Final Cut Pro, It seems that version 6.0.6 doesn't support the format very well. Besides, Raylight produced by a company named as DVFilm is able to make MXF files show as standard AVI files to the editing software, allowing you to view or edit MXF footage in Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Windows Media Player, and others.
MXF converters
MXF Converter for Windows (Mac version) enables users to convert wrapper formats (such as MXF, AVI, MKV etc.) to various output choice for user's specific purpose, such as (HD)MP4, MPG, (HD) MOV, WMV, etc. At the same time, it's able to combine/join/merge multiple MXF files into one single output.
