Edit tracking file.

摘要

The invention generally relates to improvements in the process and storage of formatted voice, graphic and image data. A new editing process allows the same commands to be applied to a plurality of data files of varying resolution and formats. The technique employs an edit tracking file (120) to retain the edit commands applied to a file of a first format. The edit commands are then executed against a file of a second format to perform the identical editing steps to the second file. This process avoids the inaccuracies associated with converting information to a common format while providing the benefits of supporting multiple formats of file information.
