A name of your choosing. After you have stored the title on the server,

how you encoded your content.

A string of your choosing. For your own use in describing the entire title. This
field is a good place to record all of the PIDs used in your title.

second

Again, a string of your choosing. This string describes the individual bit stream.
You might enter “Normal-play speed”.

1000

TOC File for Large Files

If you have a piece of content that exceeds the Solaris size limit of 2.1 GB, you must
divide the MPEG file into smaller files and identify those files as segments in the
TOC file for that title. This breaking up of the large file into smaller files occurs at
the encoder. Obtain the size, in bytes, of each smaller file and use those values to fill
in the

filesize

parameter for each

segment

in the TOC file.
