  Matrox MXF Files

  Posted by John Baumchen on December 12, 2006 at 3:13 pm

  Matrox has a program that they say will allow other programs to read their MXF files as though they are AVI,

  “Most animation, compositing, and motion graphics applications used by video editors on the PC today read Video for Windows (VFW) AVI files, but they are not designed to read MXF files. Matrox EZ-MXF lets you use the content of your native MXF files in all applications that support Video for Windows AVI files. Matrox EZ-MXF lets your application see MXF files as AVI files without transcoding or decompressing and recompressing the video. The Matrox EZ-MXF utility creates very small reference AVI files almost instantaneously. The new AVI files can then be used in your favorite VFW application, making the MXF file format practical and efficient throughout your workflow. The Matrox EZ-MXF utility does not modify
  the contents of your original MXF file nor its metadata.

  Does anyone have any experience using these files with AVID? I contacted Matrox a couple of weeks ago but so far, no reply from them on the matter.

  Cheers.
