Abstract :
Digitization is the process where information contained in analogues items like images, text, audio and video are captured and converted into a digital format. In this format information is organized into discrete units of data called bit s that can be separately addressed as byte which is a multiple bit group called byte s Every type of information is represented in digital form. Digital information can be saved on any medium that is able to represent the binary digits bits 0 and 1. The meaningful sequence of bits with no intervening spaces, punctuation or formatting is called as bit stream. A file is nothing more than a sequence of bits and the file format is interpreting the bit stream Barve, S 2007 . Digital information is produced in a variety of standard and proprietary formats like ASCII, Common image formats, word processing, spreadsheets, database documents, formulae, charts, multimedia files, sound and video. Ramareddy , Angadi, M 2004 . A defined arrangement for discrete sets of data that allow a computer and software to interpret the data is called a file format. A file format is a specific format in which a file is saved Prasad, A. R. D .
