MXF File Formats

"MXF is a 'container' or 'wrapper' format which supports a number of different streams of coded 'essence', encoded with any of a variety of codecs, together with a metadata wrapper which describes the material contained within the MXF file, from Wikipedia.

MXF packs together video, audio, and programme data, such as text – together termed essence – along with metadata and places them into a wrapper. It’s body is stream based and carries the essence as well as some of the metadata. It holds a sequence of video frames, each filled with involved audio, and data essence, plus frame-based metadata. The latter typically comprises timecode and file format information for each of the video frames. This arrangement is also called an interleaved media file.
