Content preparation system

One of the key tasks any Video-on-Demand service provider faced is to prepare content and make it ready to be delivered to subscribers including its coding, adaptation, metadata insertion, and distribution on streaming video servers. Usually, any 'physical' content comes to service providers from different sources and in different conditions-for instance, files, digital or analog streams, DVDs, satellite streams-all those data sources should be automatically normalized to a desired format.
