Why wouldn't you use AAF?  http://www.aafassociation.org/index.html
 From what little I understand, Ogg was designed with the purpose of acting
as a transport stream rather than an editing format. Are there reasons not
to adopt AAF? It appears (I've never used it personally) to have a very
robust handling of metadata, tagging info and media, ideal for editing
situations.
