Brief Explanation of GXF File

A GXF file, the abbreviation of General eXchange Format, is used to transfer compound clips that contain Motion JPEG (M-JPEG), MPEG, or DV-based video codec, associated audio, time code and user defined metadata, which is very similar to MXF video format intended for daily operations of a TV station or network. However, as technology has progressed, GXF has been phased out, while MXF has earned very high praise and gained wide acceptance, which is slowly replacing GXF in newer systems.

How to Play GXF File Directly on Computer?

Although a GXF file can be encoded by various video and audio codecs, it doesn't seems to be a big deal for most modern media players on PC which can serve as the GXF players. To confirm this conjecture, I specially prepared a few GXF files that stored different video & audio compression standards for playblast. As expected, all the videos play smoothly in the latest version of VLC, PotPlayer, MPC-HC, GOMPlayer and KMPlayer. But iTunes and Window Media Player didn't support this file type.
