Introduction

Data kept within our computer environment is encoded in a variety of ways. Sometimes it can be used directly for a certain purpose, other times it needs to be converted to another format in order to fit the context of the task. The process of converting the data from one format to another also varies, depending on the source format as well as the target format. Sometimes the process can be very complex, especially when dealing with data that is feature-rich and sensitive, such as image or video conversion. Even a small error during the conversion process may render the file unusable.
