i need to convert the mxf made by a panasonic camcorder to common formats. the free mxf tools with GUI can only make MXF files, but can't split them. and i try the command line tool, the mxfsplitter. it do split the streams, but the video stream can't be recognized by any other video tools or player.
i can't play it in KMplayer, can't open it by ffmpeg.

so, what should i do to convert the MXF files? is there a tools or a sensable way?

thanks for help!

You can use the free trail. The difference bettwen them lies in their watermark.

I am experimenting with the same issue.

Many get it wrong, but what we are looking for is a pure "LINUX" solution, not any MAC or WIN stuff...

We have a LINUX only environment, and I want to keep it this way!

In fact the unwrapping works nice with these script:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
for f in *.MXF;
do
  echo "Processing $f ... please be patient!";
  STREAM=`mxfsplit -m $f | grep “File=” | cut -c 31-52`
  mv _0002-G18010201.Stream "$f.Stream";
  MODDATE=$(stat -c %y $f)
  MODDATE=${MODDATE%% *}
  mkdir /home/Media/down_tmp/mxf_import/$MODDATE
  mv $f.Stream /home/Media/down_tmp/mxf_import/$MODDATE
  mkdir /home/zzz_servers/thot/Production/video/rohdaten/$MODDATE
  mv $f /home/zzz_servers/thot/Production/video/rohdaten/$MODDATE
done

The *.Stream can be processed with FFMPEG or directly imported to "kdenlive". However I still have problems tweaking ffmpeg as the avi has the wrong audio settings.

ffmpeg recognizes e.g.:

Code:

Input #0, dv, from '0001Q1.MXF.Stream':
  Duration: 00:00:38.00, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 115200 kb/s
    Stream #0.0: Video: dvvideo, yuv422p, 1440x1080, 115200 kb/s, PAR 4:3 DAR 16:9, 25 tbr, 25 tbn, 25 tbc
    Stream #0.1: Audio: pcm_s16le, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, s16, 1536 kb/s
    Stream #0.2: Audio: pcm_s16le, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, s16, 1536 kb/s
    Stream #0.3: Audio: pcm_s16le, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, s16, 1536 kb/s
    Stream #0.4: Audio: pcm_s16le, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, s16, 1536 kb/s

Importing the AVI to "CINELERRA" fails currently.
