The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for encoding digital assets along with content control data as an image. Portions of a digital asset (e.g., audio data, video data, geospatial data, etc.) are encoded as series of graphical representations. One or more portions of the series of graphical representations are replaced with content control data. Content control data can be placed in a series of graphical representations in a manner that makes the presence of the content control data difficult to detect (e.g., based on the principles of steganography). Two dimensional images can be lossless relative to corresponding digital assets. Encoding can take redundancies between successive graphic image representations into account, reducing (potentially substantially) resource consumption when storing and transmitting digital assets. |
