Abstract: In today's world there is an ever-changing, ever-expanding set of demands on the delivery, usage, availability, and reach of content. This paper discusses this set of demands and how they provide both the motivation and requirements for files and their role as part of the toolset used by broadcasters and content providers. It also briefly considers a range of new service opportunities that can be provided using files. Finally, as a good example of a suitable file format, which is also already widely used, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) base media file format is described. This shows how it suits, and can be extended to suit, the requirements outlined earlier.

bio
Kevin Murray joined the Research Group of DMV in 1997, which later became part of NDS. Murray is now a system architect at NDS within the New Initiatives team. Since joining the organization, Murray's work has included contributing to the development of HD encoders for the U.S. market, new coding techniques, home networking technologies, advanced DVRs, and IP delivery of TV. Externally, he has been involved with DVB and MPEG standards bodies, and is currently chairing the DVB technical group on File Formats. Before joining DMV, Murray lectured in computer science at City University in London, where he specialized in distributed and parallel systems, networking, and computer architectures and was an undergraduate course director. In today's world there is an ever-changing, ever-expanding set of demands on the delivery, usage, availability, and reach of content. This paper discusses this set of demands and how they provide both the motivation and requirements for files and their role as part of the toolset used by broadcasters and content providers. It also briefly considers a range of new service opportunities that can be provided using files. Finally, as a good example of a suitable file format, which is also already widely used, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) base media file format is described. This shows how it suits, and can be extended to suit, the requirements outlined earlier.
