	I think 'media format' or 'multimedia format' are better terms
and encompass files that contain video and/or audio.

	Well, no. All 3 (and QT MOV, notably, and also FILM) are
potentially mixed media formats. As mentioned above, I would favor the
term 'media format' to describe the files.

	Thanks...
