They may need to share files with persons using professional edit systems (like Avid, FCP, Quantel) and will definitely need to provide content to an open source playout server where they are going to use XDCAM HD422 .Mov files (generated using open source software).

At least all of what was requested is possible today in stock
ffmpeg/libav. MLT already includes presets for these, and it is easy
