    Hi,

    Avid V6.0 MAC is update for prores support, this rewraps prores Quicktime mov to Avid OP-ATOM.

    Any plans to support this type of media, i'm not shure if there is a defenition for
    prores in OP1A MXF.

    Below is a SD sample

    I don't mind having a look, so please upload to my ftp.

    The essence container and picture coding labels in your mxf2raw output are Avid private ones (see the 0e04 in the 3rd group) and RP224 doesn't list any Pro-res labels. So, I wouldn't know what labels to use for OP-1A (can't reuse the Avid label because it only applies to clip wrapped content)

    Adding reading support, i.e. have Essence type show a string, should be straightforward if the labels and corresponding essence characterics are known.

    I guess the main issue for implementing write support is how much work is required to create an essence parser to parse the frames (for raw2bmx) and possibly extract frame information.
