An acquaintance of mine gave me DVDs of raw video and audio footage from a film he was involved with with the hope that I would be able to make an reedit the film.
My issue is that the footage is comprised mainly of files with an .MXF format, which I'd never even heard of before. (I found some basic information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_Exchange_Format).
I'm on a Mac and I've tried to view the footage in these using QuickTime and FinalCut Pro X, but neither program recognizes the .MXF file format. I've also tried converting these files to the .MOV files FinalCut and QuickTime can read, but the conversion apps I downloaded don't seem to work with .MXF files either.
What application can is there to convert these files to a format I can use them in?
