All items have been assigned to one of the three possible types: "Program", "Sequence" or "Shot". A "Program" is a piece of material of rather long duration which most of the time includes both the beginning and the end of the program. A "sequence" is a clip of a few minutes that has been extracted from a program. Finally, the "shot" type corresponds to either "program" or "sequences" where the list of editing effects (shot cut, fade, etc.) will be available. Finally, note that all video material is encoded in MPEG-1 format, except item V30.
