Category: MXF converter for Mac / Tag: , , ,  / Add Comment

What is MXF file? It is a HD format from Panasonic P2 storage card. P2 is a short form for “Professional Plug-In, is a professional digital recording solid-state memory storage media format introduced by Panasonic in 2004. It is widely used on many professional Panasonic HD Camcorder now, such as Panasonic AG-HVX200, Panasonic AG HPX170 Camcorder, Panasonic AG HPX370 Camcorder, Panasonic AJ HPX2000, and Panasonic AG HPX300.

I am a staff who works in a small local television station. So I can use many such P2 Card storage Camcorders mentioned above. But I am also an enthusiastic Mac lover, who likes to edit video footage on apps like FCP X or iMovie. I am quite familiar with HD files like AVCHD footage, but I found it is quite different with the MXF card from Panasonic P2 Card Camcorders.

Generally, MXF file will be in H.264 video codec, 1080P Full HD Video. But, different with any other HD Videos, MXF file has several Audio Channels which reserve audio datas from shooting respectively. So, a professional MXF Converter must keep all the audio datas from various audio channels. And on iMac, Mac fans always frustrates with MXF file because it is not supported by QuickTime player; and apps like iMovie, FCP X, FCE and iDVD will not support to import MXF file into it.

Generally, the only player which can play MXF file is VLC Player. But it is not acceptable sometimes because it can’t play it smoothly all the time.

So for Mac fans, a professional MXF file converter for Mac is necessary. Or you will not be able enjoy the shooting from professional Panasonic P2 Card Storage HD Camcorders at all.

Although you would be able to Google out many MXF Converter programs, you will be angry with one terrible issue, which is commonly encountered in most of MXF Converter programs: the output audio is about 4X faster than video! In such situation, the audio becomes completely distorted and it ends far more before the video!

NOOK Color, I often hear about this from the guys around me. What makes so many people crazy? I am searching on the internet and sharing it with you now.

The Nook Color is a color version of the Nook e-reader device by Barnes & Noble. It is a 7-inch tablet with full-color multi touch screen input. This device is designed for full-color viewing of books, newspapers, magazines, and children’s picture books. A limited number of the children’s books available for the Nook Color include interactive animations and the option to have a professional voice actor read the story. It was announced on 26 October 2010 and shipped on 16 November 2010.

Barnes and Noble has a dedicated NOOK Developer Program where Android, Adobe Flash and AIR developers can go for information on how to create applications for the product. In addition the program has a NOOK Software Development Kit (SDK) for helping in the building of applications for the NOOK Color.

Developers can create Android applications compatible with Froyo Release (2.2) API 8 and also Adobe Flash 10.1 and AIR 2.6 content as the latest release v1.2 supports these features. Applications are available on the company’s site.

“But the footages by canon can’t be compatible with Nook Color, what makes me fidgety. I can’t share excellent moments with my family member with the Nook Color the first time.”She appears extremely crazy.

“Which format does canon shoot?” I am confused.

“MXF, that can’t be accepted by Nook Color. MP4 can”

“Oh, I understand. There are some video edit software which can convert some video files to another formats, you can have a try” I suggest.

“I know, I have tried a lot of app, I am not satisfied with them all, some although can converter MXF to MP4, when I important that MP4 files to Nook  Color, the file is out of sync, some even can’t import MXF file. You help me find one in your free time. ”she said to me.

I mention it to my husband, he recommend Aunsoft TransMXF Converter,” that will meet Sophie’s demand.” he told me confidently.

After that I download this software in Aunsoft.com. I find it very simple to use. Indeed it can fulfill Sophie’s requirements.

Last content we discussed MXF files in pasanion p2, one day I visit a friend, he capture sight of his child bathe with canon XF 300,then we view at it on his pc. I found it a MXF file as pasanion p2.what attracted me. It makes me wantted to know more about Canon XF 300, be more specific, I want to know more about the relationship between MXF and Canon XF 300.After some searches, I find a series of canon XF camera like canon XF100 and 105 ect can output MXF files.

But we have to admit a fact: MXF files are not accepted by many types of digital equipment and editing software. Encountered with this kind of problem, we must have a third-party tool to encode MXF to other formats. Occasionally I find that third-party tool, Aunsoft TransMXF,that can encode MXF to various video formats. See below, we will know how to decode MXF to wmv which is Suitable for Windows Mobiles with this third-party tool.

First we have a look at the interface of Aunsoft TransMXF

After you import a file or a lot of files, then click format to choose your need format, there are many options in a volume, we can choose” windows mobile” as above.
