FileMaker Overview: Container Functions
When first learning about database development, and how to store large files such as media, archives and documents, I was introduced to the concept of a BLOB (Binary Large OBject).
At that time, I wasn't using FileMaker Pro as of yet but a database called FoxPro. The concept of FileMaker's Container fields, as places to store BLOBs, came so much easier than having to convert a file into another format which can be stored within a SQL data store - which is what you have to do with some other database systems.
In today's modern computing world you need to be familiar with how to encrypt things and how to transfer them between various services. This video will overview the Base64 encoding functions, the Crypt functions and all the other Container related functions. If you'd like to understand how and where the container functions will help you out with working with containers then you'll likely find what you need in this video.

Verify Container
The intent of this function deals with remote containers. If the file was modified or replaced outside of filemaker, Verify Container should catch that and only works against externally stored container data.
Worth to watch twice or more
Finally I am going to deal with containers. I find very good information form this video in my 2nd watch.

Side tractions
Just want to add that you have a tendency to sidetrack too often, please stick to the subject in the video and perhaps add "non-related" information in the comments.
Also: You have a strong set of keywords: "Going to be going". Just say "go".
