In the age of digital technology, media and evidence can be captured in a multitude of ways and stored in various file formats. It can be overwhelming to sift through all these different formats and bring them together into a cohesive set of standardized files.
Let’s take an example; law enforcement agencies collect the sheer volume of digital evidence from multiple sources such as Body-Worn Cameras, Vehicle-Dashcams, and CCTVs. These sources generate different types of digital evidence, including 911 call recordings, documents, images, videos and audio recordings in various file formats. Consolidating and standardizing these disparate formats can seem like a daunting task, but it's essential for effective criminal investigation processes.
Adding to the complexity, each evidence or other digital files comes in numerous file formats. Digital cameras, for example, are available from a variety of manufacturers that, in turn, use a wide range of video file formats for storage.
Furthering the challenge are traditional cameras that still use proprietary video file formats, each requiring different players or even a specific player version for playback. Not just this, several law enforcement agencies continue to receive evidence from old recording devices with archaic video file formats that are no longer compatible with modern digital evidence management software.
Even though a great variety of modern-day camera manufacturers have standardized files to RAW format, legal investigators and other stakeholders continue to struggle with the commonly-used old or proprietary video file formats that cause a significant amount of hassle with evidence handling and processing for digital evidence management.
