    Open it in a text viewer and delete a bunch of random lines... Then try opening it...


    I don't know what mxf is but that might have the desired effect.

    Just create a text file with some random letters and symbols and save as with the name and extension of the actual file.

    What's this? :)

    My advice,
    Burn it OP,
    Than burn the house.

    If that doesn't work, call the fire brigade because you'll have a major fire on your hands.

    Your manager will respect honesty that the project is not finished on time, rather than you making a mess of what you are supposed to be doing.
