OT, but somehow fits into this file format debate: Here is a little python script i made to convert a series of wavefront obj files to an mdd file. It is a standalone program (not to be called from within poser). Use it like this:

python obj_to_mdd.py -o output.mdd model_0.obj model_1.obj ....

Because of the naming of the poser-exported obj files, you can usually use something like this:

python obj_to_mdd.py -o output.mdd model_?.obj model_??.obj

I did not try this with a Mac, sometimes there are problems with line endings. Still requires you to save the obj files (so still a lot of disk space used), but otherwise it is a way to get Poser's cloth animations into blender, for example.
