'Extraction' in the context of the studio environment here means the process in which a crude
material undergoes to derive 'cuts' and individual pieces from. The 'card dump' process is an
extractionary one as the goal isn't to end up with a standalone product on the recording device;
it is a deliberate means of collecting and cutting excesses from. Same story with the 'tape dump'
family and any other family which is created and paired with the extracting denotion.

Digitization of tapes is an affair which has proven to be cumbersome at times; the software package
I use is a proprietary one for the Hauppauge HD PVR I possess, and so far this program has been
tempermental concerning when it decides to cooperate in a functional manner (not capturing,
buffering, soundlessness and choppy video bits). Therefore, respecting tedious processes there are
green and red status signals which indicate whether something has been executed or not; yellow and
amber might be added to give more detailed visual telegraphs of situations in which an execution
has been attempted and what hemisphere of completion it favors.
