Abstract
The recording of digital media according to one or more of playback device capabilities, network performance and user preference is disclosed. One embodiment provides a method for recording digital video comprising determining a first set of capabilities of a first networked playback device, receiving media in at least one of a first format and a first bit rate, and recording the media in at least one of a second format and a second bit rate according to the first set of capabilities. In this manner, playback considerations may be incorporated while the digital media is recorded, thus improving the playback of the digital media at a later time.
