RDD 9 is Sony's Registered Disclosure Document for the XDCAM file format [1]. You can download the document from IEEExplore [2] if you have an account (e.g. via a SMPTE membership, probably also via a ABU or JBA membership). My latest (and probably outdated) information is that ffmpeg's MPEG2 encoder / MXF wrapper does not (yet, and for understandable reasons) provide an option to reorder the B-frames as specifically required by RDD 9 (Closed GOP / Open GOP), and that's what a Sony hardware player marks as an error. The only (super easy to use) option that I know of to make the required modifications is to run the file generated by ffmpeg through bmxtranswrap [3][4]. The command is rather simple: bmxtranswrap -o /path/to/output_file.mxf -t rdd9 /path/to/input_file_from_ffmpeg.mxf (IIRC, I could write the bmx output file to XDCAM disc via a PDW U1/U2, and play it back on a PDW F1600.) But maybe there are other (free) alternatives available today that I'm not aware of.
