A little background - Avid OMF format has been superceded by MXF format, because Avid can support HD and SD resolutions on this more generic metafile format. Unfortunately while being in Avid codec in a QT format will allow fast import, it will not allow you to drag the files directly to the media folder which would be the vastly preferred option.
Karl I believe MXF is being used by a bunch of manufacturers like Sony etc - and is supported by many different NLE's. Wouldn't it be preferable to concentrate on this format - I'm sure there is an SDK available.
PS _ I'm very surprised Avid don't have and SDK for OMF - as you pointed out there are still thousands of users out there. It would still seem very relevant as officially it is still supported even on the newer systems.
