This appendix describes a content package, which is one way that content can be prepared for storage on a Sun MediaCenter server. Speciﬁcally, this document describes:

■the types of ﬁles that make up a content package;

■the storage format of those ﬁles on tape.

Under most circumstances, you do not have to deal with a content package. The Content Manager (CM), an integral part of the Sun MediaCenter software, extracts from MPEG content—automatically and invisibly—the information the server needs to successfully store and play that content.

The only circumstance in which you must create a content package is when your content is stored on a non-Solaris machine that does not have ftp client software.

If this circumstance applies to you or you choose to create a content package, load your content using either CmTool (described in Chapter 4) or smc_copy or smc_tar (described in Chapter 5).
