Abstract
The described implementations relate to DVD identification. One method accesses media content from a DVD and identifies a format of the media content. The method also determines a unique identification for the media content based upon the format.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- identifying a first format of a disc by locating a specific sequence of symbols on the disc and matching the specific sequence of symbols on the disc to format data, the format data indicating a plurality of disc formats and corresponding symbols that identify individual disc formats including the first format;
- referencing content stored on the disc in a first location that is used to generate identifications for the first format, the first location being identified by referencing identification (ID) processing data that also identifies other locations that are used to generate identifications for disc formats other than the first format;
- and
- processing the content stored on the disc in the first location to generate an identification for the disc.
A computing device having a computer-readable storage media storing instructions that, when executed by the computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a first format of a disc by locating a specific sequence of symbols on the disc and matching the specific sequence of symbols on the disc to format data, the format data indicating a plurality of disc formats and corresponding symbols that identify individual disc formats including the first format;
- referencing content stored on the disc in a first location that is used to generate identifications for the first format, the first location being identified by referencing identification (ID) processing data that also identifies other locations that are used to generate identifications for disc formats other than the first format;
- and
- processing the content stored on the disc in the first location to generate an identification for the disc.
A hardware computer-readable storage media storing instructions which, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform acts comprising:
- identifying a first format of a first disc by locating a first specific sequence of symbols on the first disc and matching the first specific sequence of symbols on the first disc to format data, the format data indicating a plurality of disc formats and corresponding symbols that identify individual disc formats including the first format and a second disc format;
- referencing first content stored on the first disc in a first location that is used to generate first identifications for the first format, the first location being identified by referencing identification (ID) processing data that also identifies a second location that is used to generate second identifications for the second format;
- and
- processing the first content stored on the first disc in the first location to generate a first identification for the first disc.
