A/V Media File Naming Guidelines

The filenames for audio and video digital files contain three alphanumeric elements separated by dashes.

Sample: VI-CG0001-0022
​
1) A two-letter designator for media type, e.g., AU (= audio file) and VI (= video file)

2) The alphanumeric collection number of which the file is a member, e.g., M0036 or AU0006; see the collection master numbering list for reference

3) The four-digit, next-available, sequential number of the file within that collection and media type

For example, the fifth video to be digitized in the Tomlinson Family collection would be named VI-M0015-0005 and the fifth audio recording to be digitized in that collection would be named AU-M0015-0005.

3a) When there are multiple edits of a single master recording, e.g., Lee University chapels which require one version of the whole service and one version of the speaker-only, add underscore and the two-digit number of the version (_01), etc. at the end of the filename.

3b) Identical recordings with different file formats, e.g., FLAC and MPEG-3, should have identical filenames. The format extensions will differentiate them.
