I haven't, but I'd recommend you ask your student to convert to AVI,
and then ingest both. A quick Google indicates that MXF has severe
interoperability problems, and I'd be very leery of having it as my
only copy of a video.

Rutgers did a very nice advice-sheet on digital-video preservation
recently:

Has anyone ever loaded a

I have -- Apple's Keynote format is a composite. What I've done is
upload the original as a zip, but also shove it out to PPT and PDF and
ingest those as well. It's perhaps not the most thrilling or
innovative solution, but from a preservation perspective it's not
completely horrible.
