This list represents some examples of free and open source{{Why?|Why only free and open source ones if we're listing them.|date=October 2021}} products that support the MXF standard:

* [[FFmpeg]], an [[Open-source software|open source]] project added support for muxing and demuxing of MXF and MXF D-10 in FFmpeg 0.5, released in March 2009.<ref name="ffmpeg-changelog">{{cite web |url=http://www.ffmpeg.org/changelog.html |title=FFmpeg Changelog |date=2009-03-03 |access-date=2010-08-20}}</ref><ref name="ffmpeg">{{cite web |url=http://www.ffmpeg.org/ |title=FFmpeg |date=2008-12-03 |access-date=2010-08-20}}</ref>
:* Note that up to 2019, FFmpeg implements only the base MXF standard but does not provide vendor specific profiles, e.g. one cannot produce a MXF File that is compatible to Sony XDCAM devices due to missing header metadata entries (for further information see [https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/5097 ffmpeg trac ticket 5097])
* [[GStreamer]] is an open source Material Exchange Format (MXF) library. [[Pitivi]] uses this tool.
* [[VSDC]] is a free video editor for open and edit mxf file.
* [[Ingex]] is an open-source ([[GPL]]) suite of software for the digital capture of audio and video data, developed and heavily used by the [[BBC]]. [[Serial digital interface|SDI]] capture is supported, as well as real-time [[transcoding]] (with MXF){{Dubious|reason=How does one "transcode" using a container?|date=October 2021}}. Portions of the suite also act as a network file server for media files, as well as archiving to [[Linear Tape-Open|LTO-3]] data tape.<ref name=ingex-sourceforge>{{cite web
