DEVICE AND METHOD FOR EDITING MEDIA FILE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18067236 titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD FOR EDITING MEDIA FILE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for editing a media file by modifying its header information. The method involves identifying the existing header of the media file, generating a new header based on the existing one, and modifying the new header as needed. The location of the new header is determined based on the location of the existing header and media data within the file. Additionally, metadata extraction from the new header is performed during a media file information extraction process.
- Method for editing a media file by modifying its header information

Original Abstract Submitted
A method of editing a media file may include: identifying a first header including metadata and media data including one or more media samples from a media file to be edited; generating a second header based on the first header; modifying the second header based on modification information; determining a location of the second header to be after the media data when a location of the first header is before a location of the media data; determining the location of the second header based on the location of the first header when the location of the first header is after the location of the media data; and/or extracting metadata of the second header in a media file information extraction process.
