Check the Rdd09-2006.pdf for XDCAM HD.

bcoudurier: The XDCAM samples files I have are the ones from http://opencubetech.com/page47/ . Two are D10, the other one is DV.
So what mapping are those XDCAM HD422 files using in your oppinion?

Whatever, as long as it’s one of the SMPTE standardized mappings the GStreamer MXF demuxer should already handle it

XDCAM HD 422 is not using D10 Mapping obviously.

FFmpeg should handle it already, otherwise shoot a sample.

Dries: MXF files from the Sony XDCAMs should already work with the demuxer in gst-plugins-bad. It’s “normal” MPEG2 video and is stored as SMPTE D10 essence inside MXF files (at least for my two sample files from XDCAM devices were like this). If you can provide some more sample files from such a cam that’d be nice

Thanks for the update. So far, I can’t see any native camera codecs for sony camera’s like the mpeg hd422, outlined here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XDCAM#XDCAM_HD422_.28MPEG_HD422.29

I started looking at the mxf specification and was baffled by all the options. I take my hat of for the brave ones that dive in.
