I know I really shouldn't be spending too much time and effort on a
name, but for some reason, it's really bothering me that I can't come up
with good names for the projects I'm working on.
The first (and main) project is a module that provides a class for
holding information related to audio/vide

As part of my muxer/encoder backend module, I need to store data in its

I really want it broken up into distinct categories so that a program
using the module won't need to figure out what piece of data refers to

I have a method that writes the data to disk, but at this point, I don't
see any problems with just pickling the class instance. XML might be a
good way to provide
I think I'll stick with Maven for the module, but the two others really
