Embodiments provide a video camera that can be configured to compress video data in a manner that achieves a targeted output size in a computationally efficient manner. The video compression systems and methods can be used with DCT-based compression standards to include a rate control aspect. The rate controlled video compression methods can be configured to compress video data in, real time and/or using a single pass. During compression of video data, the video compression systems and methods can modify compression parameters to achieve a targeted file size while maintaining relatively high visual quality of the compressed images.

An image storage apparatus, an image reproducing apparatus, a method of storing an image, a method of reproducing an image, a storage medium and a photographing apparatus are provided. The image storage apparatus records link information of a contents file within a moving image file and stores the linked moving image file. Accordingly, a user can select the moving image file to be displayed together with the linked contents file on one screen when the user reproduces the moving image file.

A network device can manage the storing of content. In one aspect, the content may be managed to prevent the storing of multiple versions of the same content. A deduplication process may be performed by comparing digests generated at user devices. Based on the comparison of the digests, the network device can efficiently and effectively manage the retrieving and storing of content.

One particular implementation of the present invention may take the form of a method and system for encoding decoding 3-D multimedia content. In one example, visual content having a plurality of source frames may be processed to create a plurality of first and second type frames from each of the plurality of source frames. The plurality of first and second type frames may be arranged to create modified content, and generating a distinguishing signal for the visual content, which may distinguish the first type frame from the second type frame. In another examples, the present invention may take the form of a method decoding 3-D multimedia content encoded with at least content frames and null frames. The method may operate to receive the 3-D multimedia content, extract at least one content frame, at least one null frame, and display information. The method may further operate to reconstruct the content and null frames in a display-sequential manner using the display information to indicate the display order of the at least one content frame. In some examples, the method and system for encoding and decoding multimedia content may encode the multimedia content such that the at least one null frame may not be displayed by a display device.

The present technology relates to a reproduction device, a reproduction method, and a recording medium that enable content having a wide dynamic range of brightness to be displayed with an appropriate brightness. A recording medium, on which the reproduction device of one aspect of the present technology performs reproduction, records coded data of an extended video that is a video having a second brightness range that is wider than a first brightness range, brightness characteristic information that represents a brightness characteristic of the extended video, and brightness conversion definition information used when performing a brightness conversion of the extended video to a standard video that is a video having the first brightness range. The reproduction device decodes the coded data and converts the extended video obtained by decoding the coded data to the standard video on the basis of the brightness conversion definition information.

A method according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes the steps of: acquiring a play list including identification information indicating each of a plurality of elementary streams; selecting an elementary stream indicated by predetermined identification information from the acquired play list; acquiring a difference file including data that is not included in the selected elementary stream; and converting the selected elementary stream into an MP4 file format by combining data included in the difference file and data included in the selected elementary stream based on a manifest file corresponding to the selected elementary stream, the manifest file being necessary for the conversion of a file format based on a predetermined rule.

A configuration is implemented that converts MMT format data to MPEG-2 TSV format data for recording onto medium, thereby permitting copy control in compliance with the initial copy control information. MMT format data with copy control information set therein is input and converted to MPEG-2 TS format data for re-cording onto information recording medium. The copy control information recorded in the service description table (MH-SDT) stipulated by the MMT format is acquired and, in accordance with predetermined conversion rules, used to generate the copy control information for recording to the program map table (PMT) stipulated by the MPEG-2 TS. For example, the EPN and CCI values to be recorded to the PMT are determined in accordance with the conversion rules.

In one embodiment, a computing device receives, from one or more cameras, a video stream comprising multiple frames, where the video stream is received at a first quality. The computing device analyzes, using a machine-learning model, images in the frames, where the machine-learning model has been trained to detect one or more objects-of-interest in the images. The computing device identifies a sequence-of-interest including consecutive frames of the video stream, where at least one object-of-interest was detected in at least one of the consecutive frames. The computing device generates a video package including the sequence-of-interest.
