mfx file conversion
Posted by David Warren on December 9, 2008 at 9:30 pmI have a bunch of .mfx files that I would like to convert to .mov or .dv. Does anyone know a conversion tool or software? Thanks!

December 10, 2008 at 12:15 amAre you sure you don’t mean MXF?
If they really are MFX then there are supposed to be tools out there that can do the job but I wouldn’t touch them with a long stick..or the sites that host them without serious protection. Mac’s of course are immune…

December 11, 2008 at 1:37 amHi guys, I have had to edit MXF files before and was able to unwrap them with a free app called MXF Desktop. I’ve used it on several computers with no problems, or virus alerts. Here’s the link to the conpany.

December 11, 2008 at 7:45 amDanny it was MFX file converters that I was calling into question, not MXF.
As there are so many different ‘flavors’ of MXF, not all ‘unwrappers’ or readers work with all files.

December 11, 2008 at 6:16 pmFor easy conversion of mxf files you may want to check out DVfilm Rayilght, if you are a PC user. DVfilm Raylight for Mac if you are a mac user. Raylight for mac creates .mov reference files that can be imported into any software that will accept .mov.
Hope this is helpful,

December 11, 2008 at 6:27 pmYeah I know but I thought it may have been a typo. And yes I found out about different types and the readers, unwrappers. I was editing mxf files from a 360 Image Server 2000. It took me a while to figure out how to convert, unwrap it into something I could edit, and convert it back into something the server would play. If you have any info on these servers or their flavor of MXF, I would love to read it. Thanks in advance. Danny
