The Bento file format is a packaging definition, allowing many very
powerful x-ref functions, both internal an external, as well as 
multi-platform support, standard types, etc.  There is really quite 
a bit to it. 

The last I had seen, it did NOT define any formats for media content,
such as the method to encode images, audio, video etc.  Those elements
would be considered the content within a bento component.

Bento has been a joint effort, lead by Apple, with the participation of
various other companies including IBM.  It has not, to my knowledge,
been endorsed by any US or international standards body.

You may be able to request the current Bento specifications from
