Florian (or anyone else reading this),

Is anyone aware of plans by the Academy to integrate some kind of 
MXF-style metadata container in their plans for image interchange formats?

The first few iterations of MXF were more good intention than practical 
implementations, but similar to the varied implementations of TIFF, many 
vendors seemed to reject the idea of standardizing on a container format.

There is considerable pressure where I work to come up with an industry 
standard interchange format for digital media files, but I'm curious to 
know if the Academy is listening.

cheers,
