Wikipedia has a whole list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pom It would be nice to have a name that was unique, like OpenEXR is. Other names that popped into my head early on include OpenMovie and OpenMOV, maybe using the .omv extension. UMF isn't bad. Obviously POM is what I'm still favoring. It was also pointed out to me that what I'm proposing to do is similar to these MXF "Application Specifications": http://www.amwa.tv/projects/application_specifications.shtml The current ones do not meet our needs, but I should probably add "MXF for Visual Effects" or something. I think re-branding the format is still a good idea though, as "AS-13 MXF" isn't too sexy. Brendan |
