I think you've brought up an important consideration, Tiemo. When Rev
loads a stack file, it reads the entire stack file into memory, and
custom properties come along for the ride.
On modern systems, a couple megs of images probably won't matter, but
embedding a 6GB video would almost certainly exceed available RAM, and
on some systems may even exceed swap space.
