About MXF
MXF is the container of broadcast television and professional cameras. A camera such as Sony's XDCAM writes MXF files holding MPEG-2 or AVC-Intra video with metadata like timecode and clip names. It is made for exchanging footage between production systems, not for playback on phones.
MXF is a professional exchange format that phones, browsers and consumer editors do not open. MXF is accepted by broadcast and professional editing systems.
