Canon XF is a professional video format used by Canon XF series and Canon C300 series. Technically, Canon XF is compatible with MPEG-2 and XDCAM at bitstream level. Canon XF footage is wrapped inside .MXF files
Around 2015, Canon XF usage has peaked and has been replaced in Canon cameras by Canon XF-AVC and recently by Canon XF-HEVC formats.

Detection
Treasured can detect Canon XF footage in recovered files, and also in cards and in hard disks.
Treasured has a built-in preview function, and shows Canon XF thumbnails that help identify the content of the corrupted media..
