I see.

Why?
Can you explain me technical details off list (not urgent! :-)

What exactly support you need?
Just store the Sound or Movie into BLOB field.
Yes, I have reserve this field types in Valentina, just on case.
But it is important to know TYPE of BLOB field only if Valentina self must
do some work on that data. For example when Valentina see Picture type
field, it read data and use JPG compression algorithm.
I do not see any special algorithms I must do on movie or sound.
Only if not turn Valentina into multi-media database :-)
Or you have some ideas on this ?

BTW, have you look on docs of Valentina for Director to see syntax of work
with pictures and other issues?
