Abstract
In organizing video data, an analysis can be performed to determine whether the video data meets specifications for organization on storage media. Potential breaks in the video data may be identified for organizing the video data on discrete physical portions of the storage media. A buffer space may be calculated based on an identified potential break for spacing the video data around the potential break to meet the data organization specifications.
Claims24
A method of organizing dual layer optical disc data, comprising:
- analyzing video data using a processor to determine whether the video data meets predetermined optical disc specifications for organization on a dual layer optical disc;
- identifying potential layer breaks in the video data using the processor to meet the predetermined optical disc specifications;
- calculating a buffer space and a buffer space size to include buffer space data, the buffer space comprising a number of sectors based on at least one potential layer break for dividing the video data between layers of the dual layer optical disc;
- selecting the at least one potential layer break that accommodates a buffer space sized to contain the buffer space data while resulting in a smaller calculated buffer space as compared to an alternative potential layer break;
- and
- adding the buffer space to the video data.

A system for organizing video data, comprising:
- a data analysis module to analyze video data using a processor to determine whether the video data meets predetermined specifications for organization on a storage medium;
- a break identification module to identify potential break points in the video data when the data analysis module indicates the video data fails to meet the predetermined specifications;
- a break selection module to select a potential break point identified in the video data using the break identification module based on a predetermined set of rules;
