Abstract

The present embodiments provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for use in maintaining data quality upon conversion to a different data format. Some embodiments provide methods that receive media data (130) in a first format, initiate a first conversion of the media data (130) at the first format to a second converted format, identify parameters (148) dictating the conversion to the second converted format, record the parameters (148), and distribute the recorded parameters (148) to remote systems (124) such that the parameters (148) at least in part control the remote systems (124) during a conversion of the media data (130) to the second converted format.
