Question:

What about the usage of the MXF format.

Answer:

In short time, it would be possible to reach MXF files and convert them in AXMEDIS/MPEG-21 objects automatically, including synchronizations. The MXF is an interchange format mainly. The AXMEDIS format is MPEG-21 and can be used as interchange and delivering format. In fact, the AXMEDIS/MPEG-21 format support DRM and protection. MXF does not support the DRM at all.

In addition,

• an AXMEDIS object may include a MXF file while the opposite is not possible.

• any MXF format/file can be converted into an AXMEDIS/MPEG-21 object, while the opposite is not possible
