Avid released a specification for a Open Media Framework Interchange file format, capable of containing audio, video, graphics, still images, etc[1][2][3]. The format was replaced with the Advanced Authoring Format[4][5]. Appears to be based on the Bento compound object format.
File Identification
Later OMF files can contain the hex values 6F6D66693A64617461 starting at byte 5, which is omfi:data in ASCII[6]
Identification can also be made from 24 bytes from EOF.[7]
OMFI 1 and 2 are different and some later software may not be compatible with the earlier version.[8]
