Talked to my son who's a TV editor. Sounds like your friend has got Avid's native OMFI files, for which there's almost certainly no readily-available converter. Best bets are (a) get hold of the original video source and capture it yourself to a format your editing software uses; (b) find someone with Avid, and have them export the files in a format you can edit (apparently professional editors would export to QuickTime to swap files with each other).
