Re: [MMSEM-Tools] 4M Tool

I do agree that all video tools are basically multi-media tools, as they 
usually can work with sound and images. Categories describe the main focus 
of the tool. All the tools can be called multimedia tools, as the terms 
multimedia is used differently. For these reasons, I would like to avoid 
having one more section, but we can discuss this more during the 
teleconference. I have added a short description in the introduction of 
section 2 "We have classified tools in three categories: image, audio and 
video tools. Each category describes the main focus of the tools, although 
some of the tools, such as most of video tools, can be used with other 
media."
