A, method, apparatus, system, computer readable medium, and article of manufacture provide the ability to deliver a media content deliverable. Media content is selected. One or more clients that will receive the selected media content are selected. Independently from additional user input, one or more files are automatically and dynamically selected based on the selected media content and one or more selected clients. The selected files are scheduled for delivery to the clients. Delivery of the one or more files to the selected one or more clients is then confirmed.

Delivery of encoded media content

A digital media distribution device that includes an encoder, a decoder coupled to the encoder, and a transcoder coupled to the decoder. The encoder is configured to encode input data that is received by the digital media distribution device into a first data format. The decoder is configured to decode output data to be output by the digital media distribution device. The transcoder is configured to convert the encoded input data from the first data format into a second data format. The digital media distribution device is configured to be coupled to a computer network.

Digital media distribution device

A method, system, apparatus, article of manufacture, and computer program product provide the ability to non-destructively generate a file based master. A domestic source (having domestic audio and video content) with textless content (have portions of the domestic source that is devoid of text) is obtained. A localized source (e.g., localized audio-video) based on the domestic source is received. The localized video is compared to the domestic source to determine differences. The localized video is bladed and realigned with the domestic source. Metadata (of the differences) is transposed onto the domestic source. Texted portions in the domestic source are obscured with corresponding portions of the textless content. Texted material (based on the localized video and texted portions) is created. The localized video content and the textless content are discarded. The domestic source, localized audio content, created texted material; and metadata are combined into a playlist that represents a localized file based master.

Non-destructive file based mastering for multiple languages and versions

Presently disclosed is a method, apparatus and software for capturing decrypted information by receiving such decrypted information in a presentation device and then directing the decrypted information to a computer readable medium.

Method and apparatus for capturing unencrypted information

A method and a related apparatus for compressing images included in media content and editing the media content. The method can include providing an image-matching algorithm and a memory device, using the image-matching algorithm to identify images that are similar in a selection of media content extracting the images that are similar from the selection of media content, storing a single image that represents the extracted images in the memory device, and replacing the extracted images in the selection of media content with a metadata link that points to the single image. The method can further include providing a previously edited video program that originally was created from film footage, determining which of the video fields from the program include a unique film frame from the footage, and extracting the video fields from the program that include a unique film frame.

Method and apparatus for providing lossless data compression and editing media content

A method for removing flicker in a sequence of images, wherein each image in the sequence of images includes a plurality of pixels. The method includes providing a sequence of images including a source image and a target image, defining a plurality of regions of interest in the source image and a plurality of spatially counterpart regions of interest in the target image, measuring an image quality for all of the pixels in each of the regions of interest in the source image, measuring an image quality for all of the pixels in each of the spatially counterpart regions of interest in the target image, and generating a corrected source image on a region of interest basis depending on the image quality for the pixels in each of the plurality of regions of interest in the source image and the spatially counterpart regions of interest in the target image.
