libMXF

libMXF is a software library written by BBC Research to read and write MXF files. It has been optimised for real-time capture and playout in broadcast environments, and for interoperability with editing systems such as Avid Media Composer.

Source code can be browsed and downloaded from the CVS repository.

Nightly builds as binary release snapshots for MS Windows, Mac OS X and Linux are available here.

Tools

• writeavidmxf - takes uncompressed video or audio, DV25/50, IMX, JPEG, DNxHD and DVCProHD files and writes MXF OP-Atom files which can be used directly in Avid Media Composer and related editors.
  E.g.
  writeavidmxf --prefix rushes --dv25 rushes.dv --wavpcm rushes.wav
  This writes three files (rushes_v1.mxf, rushes_a1.mxf, rushes_a2.mxf) which can be dropped straight into the /Avid MediaFiles/MXF/1 directory and used immediately by Avid editors.
  Run writeavidmxf without options to see full command usage.
