[Mne_analysis] Trouble convertig 4D to .fif continued --- import / export open MEG format?

So far thanks to all for the helpful replies!

Sure, I would stick with fif files for that part, hopefully I will
succeed in creating those soon.
The idea is to pipe data which were preprocessed externally to the mne
software or to export mne data for external processing.
The first one seems more obscure to me. As you indicated the second
one should be feasible via Python.
It just would be nice (comparability of data from different sites,
software packages, etc.) to feed the MNE / mne-python with data of
arbitrary origin, e.g., whatever goes into a suitably shaped numpy
ndarray with info from some header object... something like Nibabel
for EEG/MEG.
Apparently the "hot part" depends om the fif files, which makes this
one non-trivial, I guess.

Thanks,
Denis
