We are developing plugins which convert media file as the source and convert in to other format that can be used by DLNA compatible device in android.

Any help on how to deal with media and its file format and convert into DLNA file format..

Any idea will be appreciable...

Thank you

There are several containers and codecs supported by DLNA, most of which can be created with FFmpeg.
Specs: http://www.dlna.org/industry/why_dlna/key_components/media_format/
Now do you plan to do the conversion on the device or will a server be involved? There are several servers on this approved / supported list: http://www.rbgrn.net/content/21-how-to-choose-dlna-media-server-windows-mac-os-x-or-linux
If you plan to do conversion on the device, there are ports of FFmpeg that run on Android but your mileage will vary of course.
