Abstract

Generating data, such as metadata, relating to video media, such as a movie, and formatted according to a global video format. When metadata that is associated with video media and is formatted according to a formatting scheme associated with a particular content provider is received, the formatting scheme of the received metadata is validated if the formatting scheme of the received metadata corresponds to the global video format. Such video media may include streaming video, Video-On-Demand (VOD) movies, Pay-per-view movies, downloadable movies, and video files adapted for rendering by a media player program executed on a computer.
