MCF

Přípona souboru mcf je nejlépe známá jako jeden z typů souborů z aplikace PTC Mathcad pro Microsoft Windows, která se používá k provádění, dokumentaci a sdílení výsledků výpočtů a návrhů.

Soubor mcf obsahuje písmo používané v Mathcad.

File extension mcf is also associated with MasterCook application management of cooking recipes.

A .mcf file contains complete MasterCook cookbook data with recipes and cooking instructions.

The mcf file extension is used for MCF file format. MCF is an open (the specs are available for everybody, free of charge), free (no royalties) data storage format called Movie Container Format (previously also known as Multimedia Container Format). It is developed by experienced video enthuasists and programmers. The format and all software we develop for it will also stay free; it won't be turned into a commercial project once it's popular.

In short it is a file format, like AVI. However, it is also much more than that, having streaming and broadcasting features in the same format. It is not video or audio compression algorithm, but instead just a container that can hold any media inside it. This does include MPEG-4 (XviD and DivX), AC3, Ogg Vorbis, MP3 and the others you may need.

The reason this project was started is that once upon a time the only usable movie format on PC was Microsoft's AVI, which had seen its best days and couldn't really be extended any further. After searching for existing alternates, without success, the MCF project (by the name of TMF in the early ages) was started. Since then there have been some other similar new projects appearing, most notably OGM ("Ogg Media").

As if things wouldn't have been complex enough otherwise, one of MCF's lead developers, Steve Lhomme (robUx4) started to experiment with completely new way of storing data, EBML. He took the MCF format structure and replaced most of its simple binary fields by these EBML fields. After some discussion (he was proposing to replace the almost ready for release MCF with this new system), he started his own project (the date was 2002-12-06), Matroska, to experiment more with his system. Well, then Lasse Kärkkäinen (Tronic), the other of MCF's lead developers had to go to military and because the developers still left weren't comfortable enough for coding software, the MCF development was stalled for six months.

The current status is that OGM and Matroska have working code available and can be played back on Windows and Linux. MCF is about four months behind Matroska in this matter, but we are continuing the project because this format has many technical advantages over all known competitors.

Přípona souboru mcf je také známa jako používaná pro speciální, proprietární formát z německého softwaru nazvaného My CEWE Photobook (Mein CEWE Fotobuch).

Soubor .mcf z tohoto programu se zdá představovat foto projekt, který definuje design fotoknihy spolu s odkazy na použité fotografie.

Je to pouze projekt a neobsahuje samotné fotografie.

Přípona souboru mcf je spojena s aplikací SignIQ, která slouží k vytváření, správě, distribuci a zobrazování formátovaného obsahu pro všechny ESL v obchodě a tiskovou produkci.

Soubor mcf obsahuje mediální kolekci pro SignIQ.

Přípona souboru mcf souvisí se softwarem pro konverzi TMPGEnc.

TMPGEnc převádí .avi soubory do MPEG1, formátu používaného ve VideoCD. Pomocí různých možností v TMPGEnc můžete komprimovat svůj video soubor ve vysoké kvalitě.

TMPGEnc vám umožňuje upravit bitrate, kvantizační matici, strukturu GOP, prokládání a mnoho dalších parametrů, abyste mohli vytvořit nejvhodnější filmový soubor podle svých potřeb.

The mcf file extension is associated with the Watchtower Library, an application used to browse information stored in Jehovah's Witnesses databases.

The mcf file contains font for visualizing text information.
