Thanks Todd for the clarification.
Like Jim I am interested to know where someone can read more information =
about the committee supervising the development of CinemaDNG. Do you =
have any website link to offer?

It looks like they are already a number of well known players supporting =
it. This is a list I found on Blackmagic website:
	=95 Aaton
	=95 Advanced Architectures
	=95 Adobe Systems
	=95 Apertus
	=95 Avid
	=95 Blackmagic Design
	=95 Cineraw
	=95 Cine-tal
	=95 Fraunhofer IIS
	=95 Gamma & Density
	=95 Ikonoskop
	=95 Image Engineering
	=95 INDIECAM
	=95 Marquise Technologies
	=95 MXF4mac
	=95 RadiantGrid Technologies
	=95 Silicon Imaging
	=95 Synthetic Aperture
	=95 The Foundry
	=95 ViewPLUS
	=95 Vision Research
	=95 WEISSCAM

Most recently Aaton and Blackmagic released their new cameras using =
CinemaDNG as one of the supported codecs.

Thanks,

David Baud
