| 20110219308 | PRE-PROCESSING AND ENCODING MEDIA CONTENT - A method, apparatus, system, article of manufacture, and computer readable storage medium provide the ability to generate a media content deliverable. Media content is defined and template files are established. Each template file contains settings used to generate one or more commands that operate on the media content to output a different deliverable. One or more of the template files are selected and master settings for the media content is specified.

| 20110116764 | NON-DESTRUCTIVE FILE BASED MASTERING FOR MULTIPLE LANGUAGES AND VERSIONS - 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. | 05-19-2011 |
