TransMXF
TransMXF, the best MXF converter, turns MXF videos into editable files for Avid, Premiere, Sony Vegas, etc.
XDCAM, introduced by Sony, is a series of products for digital recording using random access solid-state memory media. The XDCAM format uses multiple video compression methods and media container formats. XDCAM HD422 (MPEG HD422) doubles the chroma-resolution compared to the previous generations of high-definition video XDCAM formats. To accommodate the improved chroma detail, video bitrate has been increased to 50 Mbit/s.
If you want to edit the XDCAM HD 50mbps MXF in Avid Media Composer, what should do? Avid official website claims that Avid Media Composer supports the import of Sony XDCAM MXF/XDCAM EX/XDCAM HD files, however, you mail fail to do this. I have tried to import XDCAM HD 50mbps format in an mxf wrapper directly to Avid Media Composer, but this works only for short sequences, an error appears when an entire main pic (say 2 hours long) is imported. The best supported format for Avid MC is Avid QuickTime Format, to solve the importing problem, it is better to convert XDCAM HD 50mbps MXF to Avid QuickTime format for Avid Media Composer.
