ISTR that the xdg video standards were never defined, If you need any
advice or assistance with this, I would be happy to act in an
advisory capacity if that is called for. I have over 20 years experience of
developing Free Software video and have been an active participant in
developing other video / effects standards. I have been a bit our of the
spotlight recently as I have been busy architecting and implementing the
core components of the upcoming next gen LiVES 4,0 video application plus
its accompanying state-of-the-art effects standard)
