Abstract
Examples are disclosed for identifying duplicated media content in a plurality of media files. In some examples, according to a media file format, media content sequences may be located and duplicated media content sequences identified. For these examples, at least a portion of the identified duplicated media content sequences may then be deleted or not stored at a storage system. Other examples are described and claimed.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- selectively performing a deduplication process upon a first subset of a first media file and a second subset of a second media file based upon the first subset of the first media file and the second subset of the second media file comprising data sequences having a same type of media content, wherein the deduplication process skips processing remaining portions of the first media file and the second media file having types of media content different than the type of media content of the first subset of the first media file and the second subset of the second media file.
A computing device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory operatively coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that in response to being executed by the processor cause the computing device to:
- selectively perform a deduplication process upon a first subset of a first media file and a second subset of a second media file based upon the first subset of the first media file and the second subset of the second media file comprising data sequences having a same type of media content, wherein the deduplication process skips processing remaining portions of the first media file and the second media file having types of media content different than the type of media content of the first subset of the first media file and the second subset of the second media file.

A non-transitory machine readable medium comprising instructions that in response to being executed by a system cause the system to:
- selectively perform a deduplication process upon a first subset of a first media file and a second subset of a second media file based upon the first subset of the first media file and the second subset of the second media file comprising data sequences having a same type of media content, wherein the first deduplication process skips processing remaining portions of the first media file and the second media file having types of media content different than the type of media content of the first subset of the first media file and the second subset of the second media file.
