Transcoding media files in a host computing device for use in a portable computing device
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of transcoding a media data file stored in a first computing device for transferring to a second, portable computing device, the method comprising:
- receiving a selection of a media data file to be transcoded;
determining device parameters of the second computing device, responsive to the second computing device being communicatively coupled to the first computing device;
transcoding the selected media data file in accordance with the determined device parameters of the second computing device, regardless of whether the second computing device is communicatively coupled to the first computing device; and
responsive to the second computing device being communicatively coupled to the first computing device, transferring the transcoded media data file from the first computing device to the second computing device.

Abstract
Media data files stored in a first computing device are transcoded for transferring to a second, portable computing device. The device parameters of the second computing device are determined by determining the type of the second computing device, and selecting one from a plurality of sets of predetermined, pre-stored device parameters for different types of second computing devices, based on the type of the second computing device. A selected media data file is transcoded in accordance with the determined device parameters of the second computing device, regardless of whether the second computing device is connected to the first computing device. When the second computing device is connected to the first computing device, the transcoded media data file is transferred from the first computing device to the second computing device.
