I don't know if there's a best practice, but two options that come to mind:
* Bounding box and centrepoint (as with a map); this has the
disadvantage that it covers a lot of area and none of the coordinates
listed might actually be anywhere near the ones seen on the film! On
the other hand, it's certainly best for, say, a long series of
S-shaped sampling tracks back and forth. (I should know what these are
called)
* An arbitrary point (say, midpoint of track) with other coordinates
listed - say, start, end, points of particular interest. I'm not
immediately sure if anything picks up coordinates mentioned in the
file description, but at least they're there for future use as and
when such tools appear.

Take me off these spam lists. Since editors arent wanted on the wmf
projects and the wmf wants to enable bully behavior by admins I dont want to
be spammed with this crap anymore.

All,
I have some videos of the seabed of the Dogger Bank, which includes some
footage of wrecks on the bed, marine life, and parts of prehistoric
settlements.
I have the exact co-ordinates of the videos - however, because it's a
video, the co-ordinates change over time, and the moving co-ordinates of the
file can't really be entered into Commons - or can they?
Can anyone help with this? *
What's the best way to record the co-ordinates if they move over the
duration of the video?*
