.LXF Bestandsextensie

File created in the LEN Exchange Format (LEN), a format used for exchanging swimming data (also referred to as the "Lenex" format); contains swimming event data that allows competition organization and record keeping; helps to facilitate the exchange of data between race organizers, swimming clubs, and associations.

LXF files are actually .ZIP files that contain a compressed .LEF file. An LEF file stores the actual swimming exchange data in an XML format. If you want to view the raw data, you should decompress the LXF file and then open the LEF file with a text or XML viewer.

An LXF file contains standard or high definition MPEG-2 video wrapped in the proprietary Leitch Native Stream Format (LXF) used by Harris Nexio media servers. It is commonly used to store a television show that is made available to a network via the Harris Nexio media server.

You will most likely only encounter LXF files if you work in the broadcasting industry and utilize the Harris Nexio media server to make videos available over some type of network. You may also receive an LXF video file that was stored on a Harris Nexio media server but you are now looking to play it on a different platform.

Since LXF files are saved in an uncommon proprietary format, few players are available that support the format.

However, you can convert LXF video to another more common format with the cross-platform FFmpeg utility. Keep in mind that FFmpeg is a program with a command-line interface that may be difficult to use depending on your computer literacy. Also, there may be a substantial loss of video quality after converting it to a different format.
