Transcoding is the direct analog-to-analog or
digital-to-digital conversion of one encoding to
another,[1] such as for movie data files or audio
files. This is usually done in cases where a target
device (or workflow) does not support the format
or has limited storage capacity that mandates a
reduced file size,[1] or to convert incompatible or
obsolete data to a better-supported or modern
format
