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.

Matroska (MKV) is a free, open-source, container standard that can hold an unlimited amount of audiovisual and multimedia files in a single file format. Since it is open source, a user can customize it with open-source software. The name derives from “Matryoshka” dolls, which is a famous type of Russian handicraft that consists of a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size nested one inside another.
The best way to open an MKV file is to use VLC media player. This media player is compatible with all operating systems and platforms. This is important because MKV is not an industry standard, which means that other media players might not support it.
Additionally, MKV does not use codecs to compress file size, which means the file can be quite large. Therefore, another option for opening an MKV file is to download the appropriate codecs that are compatible with the selected media player. To accomplish this, download the Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP) from a trusted site, such as Ninite.
