Because my NLE software does not support the .mxf-files from Canon XF100 I need to convert them into a supported format.
As far as I know, mxf-files are just another container format for mpeg2 streams, so it would be really nice to extract the streams and place them into another container (without reencoding).
I think ffmpeg can do this – correct me if I'm wrong – by running the following command:
ffmpeg -i in.mxf -vcodec copy out.m2ts (or .ts, .mts, ...)
ffmpeg finishes without errors after about 2 seconds (in.mxf is abut 170mb):
c:\video>c:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg -i in.MXF -vcodec copy out.m2ts

Unfortunately the output file turns out to be displayed correctly only by vlc player.
My NLE-software (Cyberlink Power Director) is able to open the file but most of the picture is green. Only a few pixels on the left edge show the original video:
output file
Any ideas how to solve that problem? Is there a better way to use .mxf-files in NLE-software without native support?
thanks in advance
