Currently, there’re two basic MXF types: one is those where the essence (media) is stored in the same file as the metadata that refers to it. The other is that where the essence is stored in separate files to the metadata, while these files have External essence.

Take the below two cams for examples:

Let’s see Canon XF100. In the folder of AA0230, the essence is the AA023001.MXF, while the other files like AA0230.CIF, AA0230.CPF, AA0230.THM, AA0230.XML, AA023001.SIF is unimportant. AA023001.MXF can be separated for archiving.



Here comes P2. From the below pictures, you can see video and audio files are separated in different folders. And also, it’s no difficult to find one video will have four audio tracks. For archiving, you need to keep the whole structure of video and audio.





As we all know that P2 MXF is a self-container format which is unacceptable to many editing software, like FCP, Sony Vegas, Avid DNxHD, etc. There’re so many video converters that’s able to handle video converting. Yep, these video converters can do conversions from MXF to FCP, transcode P2 MXF to Quicktime. But they’re not professional MXF converters, you may judge from the conversion speed, output quality. Video/Audio unsync issue is the most trouble to video converter users.

If you’re a P2 user, then, I bet you can’t agree with me more. Once, a friend of mine who has Panasonic AG-HPX370 often contacted me with complains about her issue of dealing with conversion of Panasonic AG-HPX370 captured P2 MXF videos. All of her converted files will have no sound.
