Material eXchange Format (MXF) is a professional video container standardised by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) for broadcast and film production. An MXF file wraps video, multiple audio tracks, timecode, subtitles, and rich metadata into a single package that moves cleanly between editing systems and playout servers. It is codec-agnostic, so the picture inside may be XDCAM, DNxHD, AVC-Intra, or another professional codec.
For simple playback, VLC media player handles most MXF files.
MXF is really an editing format, and professional applications support it natively: Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro all import it. Since MXF files are large and rarely play on consumer devices, convert them for everyday use with our MXF to MP4 tool.

Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) is Apple’s lossless audio format, stored inside an M4A container. It compresses a recording to roughly half its original size while preserving every sample, so decoding returns audio identical to the source CD or WAV. ALAC is the natural choice for lossless libraries in the Apple ecosystem, and Apple released it as open-source in 2011, which broadened support well beyond its own devices.
On Apple devices, ALAC plays directly in the Music app, iTunes, or QuickTime with no setup at all.
Elsewhere, VLC media player, foobar2000, and Android all read ALAC. Since ALAC files carry the .m4a extension, they look identical to lossy AAC files in a file listing — check the track properties to tell them apart. To free up space or play the music on limited hardware, convert it with our M4A to MP3 tool.
