DYNAMIC SERVER-SIDE MEDIA TRANSCODING
First Claim
1. A computer program product comprising one or more computer-readable media having thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system, causes the computing system to perform a method for dynamically transcoding media content to be presented on a client presentation system, the method comprising:
- an act of receiving a request for media content to be delivered to a client presentation system;
after receiving the request, an act of identifying transcoding parameters to be applied to the requested media content prior to delivery to the client presentation system;
an act of transcoding the requested media content in accordance with the identified transcoding parameters;
an act of causing the transcoded media content to be delivered to the client presentation system; and
an act of caching the transcoded media content.

Abstract
Dynamic transcoding of media content based on transcoding parameters. Upon receiving a request for media content to be delivered to a client, various parameters for transcoding the media content are identified. Such transcoding parameters might be tailored to the particular capabilities of the client presentation system. It not already done, the requested media content may then be transcoded in accordance with the identified parameters. The resulting media stream may then be provided to the client presentation device. In one example, if another request for that same media content is made and the transcoding parameters are identified to be the same, a second media stream may be provided to the second client presentation system.

14. A method for accessing dynamically transcoding media content, the method comprising:
-
an act of receiving a request for media content to be delivered to a client presentation system for media content; after receiving the request, an act of identifying transcoding parameters to be applied to the requested media content prior to delivery to the client presentation system; an act of determining that the transcoding parameters to be applied to the requested media content prior to delivery to the client presentation system are the same as transcoding parameters that are being applied to the requested media content prior to delivery to another client presentation system; and an act of delivering the transcoded media content to both client presentation systems concurrently. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer program product comprising one or more computer-readable media having thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system, causes the computing system to perform a method for dynamically transcoding an on-line video to be presented on a plurality of client presentation systems, the method comprising:
-
an act of receiving a request over a network for an on-line video to be delivered to a first client presentation system; after receiving the request, an act of identifying transcoding parameters to be applied to the on-line video prior to delivery to the first client presentation system; an act of transcoding the requested on-line video in accordance with the identified transcoding parameters; an act of causing the transcoded on-line video to be delivered to the first client presentation system as streaming media while still in the act of transcoding; an act of receiving a request for the on-line video to be delivered to a second client presentation system; an act of determining that the transcoding parameters to be applied to the requested on-line video prior to delivery to the second client presentation system are the same as the transcoding parameters that are being applied to the requested on-line video prior to delivery to the first client presentation system; and an act of causing the transcoded on-line video to the delivered to the second client presentation system as streaming media while still in the act of causing the transcoded on-line video to be delivered to the first client presentation system as streaming media. - View Dependent Claims (20)
