For what it's worth, my app implements a per-film XML spec:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE film>
<film>
  <media>
    <path>/local/aleader/nau-scene1.mpg</path>
    <toc>/local/aleader/nau-scene1.mpg.toc</toc>
    <duration>208.52</duration>
    <timeadj>643.6</timeadj>
  </media>
</film>

So that's how i solved it.
