Convert MXF to WMV for Sony Vegas, MXF to Sony Vegas Converter

I am producing a documentary with Panasonic P2 on a 10 year reunion of college alumni. And I took that opportunity to film interviews with each of the members. We had a great time together and the film is recorded successfully. It's a fun project, and if turns out good, I may submit it to a film festival, but I'm not holding my breath.

However, things became to bother me when I try to edit these MXF footages in Sony Vegas. Yes, I can't get .MXF files loaded into Vegas. I was stuck right here, one more step from completing my film. I know I probably need to find a MXF converter, and there are half a dozen of choices, for example, MXF converter from Ilifesoft, iorgsoft and pavtube etc. I tried all of them one by one and ended up with this Video Converter present by Aunsoft. Honestly speaking, all of these programs are quite identical in appearance and you may find many of them even have the similar functions. So it'll need some insight to tell the best for your choice. Based on my personal experience, Aunsoft Video Converter is hands down better than its competitive applications of this kind, especially for its HD video output quality, not to mention its excellent MXF joining ability just in a click!

So I decide to share with you guys my recommendation to this MXF Converter by pushing these fingers to write this review. Tips: if you are Mac users, you can also find their Mac version of Video Converter in their official website. Now, let me show you how to convert Panasonic P2 MXF to Sony Vegas step by step.

1. Download a free version of Aunsoft MXF Converter, launch the app and load MXF files into the program. You can simply drag and drop files into the converter or click "Add" to browse for your MXF files. This is how the program looks like.



2. Choose output format for Sony Vegas. If you look for a HD output, you can follow "Format" > "HD Video" and choose the HD format you prefer. Have a try with H.264 HD Video (*.mp4), and you will be impressed by its output quality. In my case, I choose WMV format from Common Video section in "Format", as my footage is quite large (over 10 G, I can't afford to edit larger file in Vegas. And actually I'm quite satisfied with converted file. The WMV file is imported swimming into Sony Vegas.





3. Join P2 MXF files and convert. Before you start conversion, allow me to introduce this great function available in this converting tool. The function of joining/merging multiple MXF files together into one single file. It's indeed very important to me, as I have plenty of MXF clips that needed to be combined to edit in Vegas. I didn't expect that before I tried this product and I so love the function. If you want to join your imported files together, just make sure the "Merge into one file" checkbox is ticked (next to Settings button). After that, you can start converting now.
