  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONVERTING DIFFERENT FORMAT CONTENT INTO ONE OR MORE COMMON FORMATS
    Publication number: 20080215776
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for converting different format content into one or more first common formats. This conversion method allows content that is received in multiple, different formats to be converted into one standard format for manufacturing and, optionally, into an Internet format rather quickly. This method allows the content to be available in both the production master and Internet formats nearly simultaneously. The converted Internet ready content file can be “bundled” with its associated metadata in another step and entered into a database.
