Repository files navigation

A GUI to inspect and extract data fromMXF files. Grab arelease and start it (see "Quick start" below for an example).

The panel on the top-right shows the structural metadata. The tabs on the bottom show information about the file like the entire file's metadata, partitions, track layout,ancillary data (SMPTE 436m), parsed708 captions, andDolbyE track ac3 metadata. The latter two require the corresponding option to be selected before opening the file.

An example of browsing metadata:

mxf-gui uses a library calledmxf-reader. Note: playback isn't supported at this point.

To start MXF GUI you should be able to launch the JAR like any executable.e.g. double-click it, or run:

java -jar mxf-gui-v1.0-snapshot.jar

You only needJava installed.

Once it starts, you can use the menu or drag an MXF file onto the main window to inspect it.

Build withMaven:

mvn package

Use theExport > Essence to files... menu to extract any of the essence data from the source tracks. You can optionally extract a caption file containing the carryover 608 bytes from the s436m ancillary data track, if it's present.
