Re: Why Apple should let HP build its workstations

[Andrew Richards] "What about MXF? I thought that was Avid's native DNxHD container these days. DaVinci supports DNxHD on Linux. FFmpeg can be called upon to encode and convert almost anything, including DNxHD (which is open source)."

Yes, but Avid doesn't use MXF for its deliverables. You cannot export DnxHD MXF files from an Avid to work with most other applications, only QT. What would make sense though is to allow DnxHD in an avi wrapper, just like Cineform, so that would avoid QT on Linux (and on Windows).
