  • 11. It is important to note that nothing in the MXF specifications constrains the format of the video and audio wrapped in the MXF file. Therefore, it is possible to be able to understand the content of the MXF wrapper but still be unable to view the essence due to video/audio codec interoperability issuesEXTERNAL

  • 4. Film was actually very hard! One of the first tasks the SMPE (the Society of Motion Picture Engineers, a precursor to the current SMPTE) took on was the standardization of film. Without this effort, film technology would have wallowed for many years. For an excellent description of these early standardization efforts, see Technological History of Motion Pictures and Television: An Anthology from the Pages of the “Journal of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers” by Raymond Fielding (hardcover, Jan. 31, 1980)EXTERNAL
  • 5. Videotape was actually a little tricky too. Of course you had the different video standards, NTSC (National Television System Committee), PAL (Phase Alternating Line), and SECAM (Séquentiel couleur à mémoire), and you also had some incompatibility issues within a format (Sony vs. Ampex 1″, for example). However, by and large, video tape was comparatively straightforwardEXTERNAL
