How to transcode MXF files into HD MPEG-2 SD with 4:3 ratio

Supporting interlacing and high definition, MPEG-2 standard was considerably broader in scope and of wider appeal. On the Windows platform, it's often necessary to convert MXF to MPEG-2 SD or convert MXF to Full HD MPEG-2
for editing in Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, etc. Conversion is easy but the preset to achieve settings that you need brings test.

"We are attempting to convert .mxf files from a Canon XF300 into mpeg2 SD 720*480 (for a 4:3 ratio). However, the files are still coming out 16:9.. When we choose the mpeg2 preset, the source reads as 1920*1080, and the target reads as 720*480, but they’re
still coming out 16:9. In a nutshell, we simply need to convert MXF files to 4:3 ratio that Elements 9 can read."

So our task is to transcode MXF into MPEG-2 SD 720x480 with 4:3 ratio. Honestly, it's just a piece of cake with Aunsoft TransMXF Pro. The program allows you easily
set video resolution from Full HD 1920*1080 to SD 720*480. And you can fastest convert 16:9 MXF to 4:3 MPEG-2. The built-in editor tool also provides some useful edit functions which enable you to enhance the video clips, including cropping, flipping, trimming,
splitting, apply special effects, add subtitles and watermark. For instance, you can convert MXF into MPEG-2 with vertical flipping or horizontal flipping. And one highlight I appreciate is the perfect audio and video synchronization technology the program
use.

Want to preserve, separate and mix audio tracks from source MXF? It's no problem! TransMXF Pro, as the only completely multichannel project solution, is able to export 2, 4, 8 or more audio tracks when transcoding MXF to MOV, MKV and MP4.

Below is a tutorial to transcode MXF files into HD MPEG-2 SD 720x480 with 4:3 ratio.

Step 1. Add Canon MXF recordings

Click "add video" or "add folder" to load file. You can also directly drag files to the program. Batch conversion is available here.

Step 2. Select output format

Step 3. Preset aspect ratio as 4:3

Click "edit selected task" icon in the main interface. Click "Crop" to set Aspect Ratio as 4:3 so you can encode MXF into MPEG-2 SD with 4:3 ratio.

Step 4. Set video size as 720x480

Click "Settings" and set video size. you can also Adjust video and audio parameters, including the Bitrate of Video and Audio, the Codec of Video and Audio, Sample Rate, Frame Rate, Audio Channels, etc., to get MXF files converted with original quality.

Converting multiple audio tracks MXF file to uncompressed QuickTime

I normally render my timelapse comps from AE into a QuickTime container with H.264. Recently since I updated to CC versions of the entire Adobe Collection I experienced unprecedented trouble with After Effects. For it's so urgent to edit my recordings

rendering time. I am so satisfied that the frame rate is up to 48000 HZ. I can also optimize the bitrate, frame rate, video size and audio channel for best settings. And with the perfect audio and video synchronization technology, the MXF sound problem and
audio issue will no longer troubles.
