Agreed. But this triggered another question: are we interested in the timestamps in the movie? If we ask for a segment of video starting at 30s, do we expect the timestamp of the first frame to be "30s"? Do we expect it to be "0s"? Do we expect nothing at all? This is going to be important for client-side creation of URLs for selecting subparts of videos. Sylvia, do Annodex temporal URLs say anything about this? -- Jack Jansen, <Jack.Jansen@cwi.nl>, http://www.cwi.nl/~jack If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman
