I have created a OMF from a Nuendo project that contains only WAV files.
Upon importing, the OMF embedded files appear as AIF.
I have tested with Sequoia, Audition and the same Nuendo where the original OMF was created and the extracted files always appear as AIF.
Am i doing something wrong, missing a checkmark somewhere, is this a bug…?
So, nearly two years later and a couple of Nuendo updates and the situation persists.
Nuendo 14.0.41 in Windows and when creating OMF files from multitrack projects that comprise entirely of WAV files, the extracted files from the OMF become AIF files.
This is a Windows system, one more reason for AIF files not being a default at all but the situation persists.
Is this a bug, a feature, an option that i can change by clicking in some hidden Menu?
Would really love to know.
Apparently nobody knows, nobody tested.
Weird…
Maybe if i post this as “Nuendo 15 Beta - problem with OMF”…? 
Just tested this and I can not confirm.
Files are imported as .wav files.
OMF Export settings:
-Copy media
-OMF 2.0
-Export all to one file
Second test:
-Copy media
-OMF 2.0
-Export Media File References.

And upon importing the OMF all the imported files are WAVs?
They didn’t turn into AIFs?
Yes, .wav, no .aif.
It has been a (very) long time that I used OMF, but I have never seen this.
Why OMF???
What happens if you use AAF?

So, there’s something wrong here.
Creating an OMF from a multitrack project 100% consisting of WAV files, upon importing that same OMF the exported files become AIF.
With AAF there’s no problem: imported/extracted files show the correct WAV format.
As for the “why OMF and not AAF” there’s no particular reason. I’ve been using OMF since it exists and got used to the format.
Also it seems i can Export a couple more project details with OMF, not available in AAF: clip names, clip volumes and fades.
I would really love to understand why it is that my system/setup “transforms” the file format after it passes through the OMF conversion.
Mistery!
Thanks for your help! Greatly appreciated!
Is your actual Nuendo session (Project Setup) set to wav or aif?
