The files are playable frame-perfectly and the FS is fast enough
(buffered enough) to make it work "as if".

I copy the files off of the unit faster than real time using FTP and can
play them directly without going through an NLE. Therefore the file
structure and the FS's true capabilities are important to my point of view.
