Import/Transfer Canon XF/C300,P2 MXF files to FCP(X) for smoothly editing under Mac OS
MXF files are often recorded by high-end camcorders, such as canon C300 and XF series, like XF305, XF100, XF105, XF300, or Panasonic P2 series. These excellent camcorders record high-definition video footages in .mxf format. It’s good to maintain the high quality of the video by using MXF format, but this format is not compatible with editing software and other portable devices. For example, you may encounter many problems when you want to import MXF to Final Cut Pro on Mac.

The app is a tool which makes you easy to either watch or encode DVD, DVD ISO/IFO to Apple TV format in an Apple-like way. It can help you rip and convert DVD to Apple TV 3 720p M4V video while maintaining 5.1 surround on Mac. Better off, the new preset exports HD video with 2 audio tracks- both Dolby Digital 5.1 and AAC stereo audio will be retained, so that Apple TV could pass-through Dolby Digital to A/V receiver for reproduction of surround sound, and export AAC stereo when going without surround sound system.
The steps: Rip & Convert DVD to Apple TV 3 compliant 720p M4V video with Dobly Digital 5.1 audio
Step 1. Run the top Mac DVD Converter for Apple TV. Press “Load Disc” icon to import DVD movie. Choose “File > Load from ISO/IFO” if you’d like to import DVD ISO image file.

Step 3. Set subtitles and audio language for the main movie.
Step 4. Press on the “Format” bar, choose “Apple TV 2 Dolby Digital Pass-through (*.m4v)” preset which works best for the 2nd gen black Apple TV. For Apple TV 3, You can click “settings” to change the setting from the new default HD profile 4000 to 5000~8000 bitrate.

Step 5. Press “Convert” to get it start ripping DVD to Apple TV optimized 720 m4v video under Mac.
Step 6. Wait till conversion completes. Then Press “Open” to find the ripped movie.

For more information about how to stream HD videos to Apple TV 3 and connections for the Apple TV to pass-through AC-3 5.1 audio, please check Setting up Apple TV for Dolby Digital 5.1 pass-through.
Note: iTunes does not play video contents with AC3 audio, but the Apple TV pass-through presets create video with both AC3 and AAC, so iTunes will find and play the AAC track instead.
So there you have it. Pretty simple, Afert all workflow being done, you can start enjoying DVD movies on HDTV via Apple TV 3 with Dobly Digital 5.1 surround sound as you want.
