The above hierarchy follows the + UDF hybrid standard used on most DVD‑R media, ensuring compatibility with Windows, macOS, and Linux. 4. Metadata Schema A JSON file ( metadata.json ) resides in every movie folder. The schema complies with MPEG‑7 Core elements and augments them with Dublin Core fields for simplicity. | | releaseYear | Integer | Temporal filtering
