System and method for encoding image data and other data types into one data format and decoding of same

A system, comprising:

• a network interface coupled to at least one processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• receive, via the network interface, a combined file from a source over a network, wherein the combined file includes:
• a first original file having first data associated with a first data stream including first byte blocks of a first byte block size,
• a second original file having second data associated with a second data stream including second byte blocks of a second byte block size,
• wherein the first byte blocks and the second byte blocks are blended within the combined file via an encoding operation,
• wherein the first byte block size and the second byte block size are determined according to a file size relationship between the first original file and the second original file, and
• a header including information relating to:
• a number of bytes of the first original file,
• a number of bytes of the second original file,
• the first byte block size, and
• the second byte block size;
• and
• decode the combined file into first and second data streams.
