   Hi,

   well, this might be a stupid question but i didnt found the awser on google.

   The problem is that i work whit avid media composer and a xdcam at work. So the XDCAM gives me .MXF files for my media, and all my archive are in .MXF At this moment i have no editing software instaled on my computer at home. But i would like to have a small one like sony vegas, adobe premiere or something like this just to mess around my footage after my day of work ,

   Yes i would like to have avid but now i am more investing in my camcorder instead of my computer, its a piece of crap laptop that can make some video, but cant support avid, just the minimal requirement for adobe and vegas.

   So my question, do you know a sotfware that could work whit .mxf files and support 1080i hd resolution. I am ready to pay the price, its more a question of minimal system requirement.

   MXF files are containers utilized by panasonic P2 formats and Sony XDCAM.  However, eventhough they are both .MFX files they are completely different.

   I have worked with P2 MXF files in Premiere and I love them....Premiere loves P2 MXF and they handle great.  I have read that Premiere also handles XDCAM MXF files and XDCAM is listed in Premiere's accepted format guide, but I cannot comment on how well they perform in Premiere since I still have yet to work with XDCAM...My guess is that'll they'll handle just as well. 

   Vegas also accepts XDCAM MXF files.

   Since you are working on a moderate laptop, I suspect that working with HD might be a little painful...If this is the case, I have noticed that Vegas will operate more smoothly than Premiere on a substandard computer when working with HD files.

   Your best bet is to just download a free trial of both Premiere and Vegas and see what you can and cannot do.

   Good Luck!

   *Note many programs will not yet accept XDCAM files recorded at 50Mbs. This shouldn't be a problem since most XDCAM files are recorded at 35Mbs an lower.

   BTW, for those that care....XDCAM at 50Mbs has been compared to Digital BetaCam....
