paths
The <paths> element is a map of <path> elements, each representing a different view on the same material, in multiple files.
The most common use case is Stereo Video, which includes media for both right and left polarities.
Each <path> child represents media that is uniform in all aspects, such as timing, duration, rate, format, and codec.
This is different from the <tracks> element, which show different representations of the same event (layers or passes) that can vary in any aspect.

<path> |

Examples
Example 1
This example demonstrates the use of the subFeedId attribute to represent two eyes of a stereo video media feed.
<paths>
<path subFeedId="Left" encoding="pattern">MEDIA/left-eye.[0001-0005].tif</path>
<path subFeedId="Right" encoding="pattern">MEDIA/right-eye.[0001-0005].tif</path>
</paths>
