          <br/>The first one is not visible for users; it allows to record the work done (notes, sequences, rough-cut) in a file. It also permits to launch programs necessary to import an audio or video file. These programs encode video in order that it can be visible in the interface and that it can produce the shot by shot and the sound wave.

          <br/>The interface is composed by all the elements visible and controlled by users. It is composed by the top left menu (File, Display) and by three windows: Informations, the media player, and the one who displays the lignes de temps.

          <br/>The two parts of the program are connected but the communication can sometimes be interrupted, without any notification. In this case, the work can not unfortunately be recorded. The Institute for research and innovation works on those different problems.

            After many tests, it seems that <i>Lignes de temps</i> just settles on the computers with the operating system 10.5 called "leopard", the 10.4 one called "tiger", the Intel processor, or with the Power PC processor.</li>

            You have to make sure that the file extension can match. <i>Lignes de temps</i> takes into account avi, mpg, mov, flv extension for video and mp3 for audio.

            Then, even if this one is accepted, the encoding can not match with the program (ffmpeg) which transforms this file in a video readable in <i>Lignes de temps</i>, that is to say in the flv format.

            Even if the file extension is correct, some characters block the import.  Thus, you should prefer naming your file without the following characters : accented characters, space, ç, #, &amp;, %, !, *, (), [], |, {}, :, ;, @.</li>
