1. A method of associating media files comprising:
(a) at a camera, generating a first version media file;
(b) at a first computer system, receiving a media stream from a camera and converting said media stream to a second version file, wherein said media stream has associated first metadata and is associated with said first version media file, and wherein the second version file has a different timecode or length than the first version media file, and wherein the second version file has footage for which there is no corresponding footage available in the first version media file;
(c) updating said first metadata of said second version file converted from a camera media stream with data relating to said first version media file, wherein the updated first metadata enables replacing said second version file with said first version media file;
(d) receiving said second version file converted from a camera media stream at a user system;
(e) generating an additional second version file from said first version media file, wherein the additional second version file has a different timecode or length than the first version media file, and wherein said additional second version file has second metadata relating to the first version media file;
(f) receiving said additional second version file generated from said first version media file at said user system;
(g) truncating the second version file and the additional second version file based on the updated first metadata and the second metadata such that lengths of the second version file and the additional second version file are the same as a length of the first version media file; and
(h) at said user system, replacing said second version file converted from a camera media stream with said additional second version file generated from said first version media file based on the updated first metadata and the second metadata, wherein the updated first metadata and the second metadata ensure that the second version file and the additional second version file can be matched to the first version media file.
