I wonder if this is all intentional (seriously!), you have a
specification that from all I know is unclear, multiple different
and incompatible implementations and several commercial
applications that tell you what's wrong in the files - but
nobody seems to be very interested in fixing these "issues".
This reminds me of a few conversations I've had with those seeking
alternatives in the seemingly locked-in world of the legacy cable
broadcast stream conformation cycle. Luckily I'm not involved in
broadcast but the situation (a few years ago at least) seemed to be:
"Buy our $4000 (USD) analyzer to see what we say is 'wrong' with your
input. Buy our $6000 muxer to make it pass our analyzer."
Heh :)
Well, MXF is complicated, and based on what do you want to be compatible
with there are many flavours. Some issues reported by the analyzers can be
fixed, some can't be, because of the limited architecture of ffmpeg.
I guess there is no huge interest to improve the mxf muxer because BMXlib
tools like raw2bmx already do pretty good mxf wrapping (much better than
ffmpeg) and they support many flavours. I suggest using that for creating
standards compliant MXF.
We improved many part of FFmpeg although other software existed...
Mostly because we wanted to create a superior solution and because the
task was challenging. In this case I see little chance of reaching a
superior solution, and the task is not even challenging. If somebody pays
good money, maybe.
On the other hand offering a bounty for fixing issues in the ffmpeg MXF
muxer might be an option, as far as I remember Baptiste and Michael did
work lately on mxfenc.
I thought you did too, no?
I did mostly mxfdec.
