MXF to AU

MXF is a multimedia container format designed for video to be packaged and edited. Such video material contains metadata, audio and video streams, which are encoded for various formats. The MXF extension was developed by the international company SMPTE, a market leader in cross-platform software and hardware solutions. The MXF extension, or Material Exchange Format File, is in most cases used by users who, as professionals, process, store and transmit video and audio information in the television and film industries. Professional camcorders use the same extension for recording. That's why the issue of playing MXF video is especially relevant. An MXF file is an output file when recording video / audio data from a TV tuner or some other hardware and software device. We are talking about devices whose purpose is to convert an analog signal to a digital one, and then process it. This is not to say that the MXF format is also in demand in terms of font in the SimCity 4 game program, which is a city-planning simulator. MXF is good first because it allows you to store multimedia data. Compression is possible, in fact, by any algorithm.

AU is an audio file format created in Audacity. This is a free cross-platform program designed to edit audio files. AU format (Audio Units) was developed by Sun Microsystems. This format greatly simplifies the task of reliable storage of audio files. An AU file consists of 3 parts: a header (max. 24 bytes), a description block of various sizes, and audio data. The file format is used on computers running the Sun or Unix operating system. However, it opens with other audio players. The AU format uses the logarithmic encoding method, previously very popular on computers running the Sun SPARCstation operating system. Previous sound file formats, in order to reduce the size, used the logarithmic scale of recording samples. Among the representatives of such formats, the Sun AU group of formats, which are still in action, gained great fame. Problems with opening the AU file usually manifest themselves when there are no corresponding applications that would be installed on the PC. Applications that use .AU files are Apple QuickTime Player, Microsoft Windows Media Player, Real Player, Winamp, and other widely used audio players. And this is the vast majority of professional audio editors.
