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).
