System and method for converting DVD based video recording formats among each other

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and a system for converting DVD based video recording formats among each other. The system comprises a reader unit for reading source data organized in any DVD-source format from a DVD-source medium; a writer unit for writing destination data organized in any DVD-destination format on a DVD-destination medium; and a processing unit coupled with the reader unit for receiving data from the source medium and coupled with said writer unit for supplying data to be written. Said processing unit is adapted to convert DVD-source data in any DVD-source format into DVD-destination data in any DVD-destination format. The inventive method comprises the steps of analysing source data on a DVD-source medium for determining the DVD-source format; generating destination data organized in said desired DVD-destination format by using selected source data on the basis of the result of the analysing step; and writing said destination data on a DVD-destination medium.
