#3 EDL Translations between Video Engines and other Protocols

[AnotherWatchman]

The EDL commands may vary between video engines and programs, so there could be a table of equivalent commands.

A similar table could be made to carry out similar functions using different systems of EDLs.

The command translation tables could be constructed by asking the teams for engines, programs and protocols to create their own section of the translation table.

This would allow side by side comparisons of various tasks performed by the range of systems.
The results could be compared (say speed and accuracy) using thumbnail sections, so decisions can be made for what method to use for the big jobs.

Translation tables could also be used to make use of Old EDLs on old records, so they can be used to "re-master" the records using modern video engines.
The translation tables would also assist when systems get upgraded, updated, or migrated.
