A media item in the GEDCOM file is represented by a set of lines that might look similar to the examples just below. Each line in a GEDCOM file is known as a "segment" and is identified (not uniquely) by the keyword that follows the initial number. A GEDCOM "record" is a segment plus any subordinate segments (that start with larger numbers). The three examples below each show one hypothetical media record, and represent MacIntosh, a Windows PC, and a local PC's simulated Linux environment. The only meaningful difference among the three is the FILE segment (on the second line). | A media item in the GEDCOM file is represented by a set of lines that might look similar to the examples just below.
