Patent ID: 8619188

Claim:
A system for converting video information from an incoming format to an outgoing format using an integrated computer software application, the integrated computer software application being provided on a non-transient computer-readable medium, the non-transient computer-readable medium including: a code directed to receiving video information in a first format; a code directed to receiving a desired output media format from a plurality of output media formats based upon a first input, each output media format being a specific standard video format for optical disk media; a code directed to receiving a desired TV standard from a plurality of TV standards based upon a second input; a code directed to converting the video information in the first format to raw video information an uncompressed format using a decoding process; a code directed to resizing the video information in a raw uncompressed format into a size associated with the desired output media format and the desired TV standard; a code directed to adjusting the video information to a frame rate associated with the desired TV standard; a code directed to processing the video information into an elementary video stream having a size associated with the desired output media format and the desired TV standard and a frame rate associated with the desired TV standard; and a code directed to processing the elementary video stream with audio information in the desired output media format and the desired TV standard to form video and audio information in a presentation format based upon the desired output media format and the desired TV standard, the presentation format being a specific format for writing video and audio information to an optical disk medium according to the desired output media format and the desired TV standard, wherein the integrated computer software application comprises software codes that are compatible and operate as a unit with a unified command structure that is integrated with an operating system on a computer, and wherein converting video information from the incoming format to the outgoing format is performed in a continuous single pass process by the integrated computer software application, the outgoing format being the presentation format.
