OK folks, I think I've come around on this name change. =C2=A0Just got = to refine it.


Does anyone else find "Movie Open Exchange" to be sort of grammat= ically awkward?

I'm thinking maybe just drop the official meaning and leave it up to pe= ople's imagination, like the EXR in OpenEXR. =C2=A0Does anyone care tha= t DPX stands for Digital Picture Exchange?


Then how should we capitalize it?

"Hey, send me over a Mox file."
"That MoX file done rendering yet?"
"The client really needs their MOX file!"


I think I'm partial to MOX.

And can we agree that it's pronounced as one syllable, not "em-oh-= ex"?


Brendan
