A New Approach for Processing Different Multimedia Formats

Abstract

Multimedia is a repository of knowledge in forms such as images, text, audio and video. In this paper the methodology presented facilitates the searching and delivery of all media types among users connected via Internet. An efficient means for teleconferencing is provided which is reliable across WANs, supports heterogeneity and is interoperable with other implementations. For faster retrieval of data encapsulation is used where data, object and user implementations pertaining to a single object is grouped together as a single entity. Increase in speed during retrieval, no data loss during transmission makes this system favourable.
