`caption`	MediaObject or Text	The caption for this object. For downloadable machine formats (closed caption, subtitles etc.) use MediaObject and indicate the encodingFormat.
`embeddedTextCaption`	Text	Represents textual captioning from a MediaObject, e.g. text of a 'meme'.

`contentUrl`	URL	Actual bytes of the media object, for example the image file or video file.
`duration`	Duration or QuantitativeValue	The duration of the item (movie, audio recording, event, etc.) in ISO 8601 duration format.
`embedUrl`	URL	A URL pointing to a player for a specific video. In general, this is the information in the `src` element of an `embed` tag and should not be the same as the content of the `loc` tag.
`encodesCreativeWork`	CreativeWork	The CreativeWork encoded by this media object. Inverse property: encoding
`encodingFormat`	Text or URL	Media type typically expressed using a MIME format (see IANA site and MDN reference), e.g. application/zip for a SoftwareApplication binary, audio/mpeg for .mp3 etc. In cases where a CreativeWork has several media type representations, encoding can be used to indicate each MediaObject alongside particular encodingFormat information. Unregistered or niche encoding and file formats can be indicated instead via the most appropriate URL, e.g. defining Web page or a Wikipedia/Wikidata entry. Supersedes fileFormat.
`endTime`	DateTime or Time	The endTime of something. For a reserved event or service (e.g. FoodEstablishmentReservation), the time that it is expected to end. For actions that span a period of time, when the action was performed. E.g. John wrote a book from January to December. For media, including audio and video, it's the time offset of the end of a clip within a larger file. Note that Event uses startDate/endDate instead of startTime/endTime, even when describing dates with times. This situation may be clarified in future revisions.
