Abstract

Provided is a system and method that may encode various formats of contents to a single format and thereby manage the contents, and may transform the contents to a format corresponding to a request of a third party or an end user to distribute the content. A media mediator system of managing various formats of contents may include: a service manager to receive a content and metadata of the content from a content provider; a metadata manager to register the content using the metadata, and to store the metadata of the registered content; a database manager to store and manage information associated with the content; and an encoding manager to schedule an encoding sequence of the content, and to sequentially encode the content based on a scheduling result.
