1. A transcoding method comprising:

  • accessing, by a source device, a source file stored at a media library of the source device when the source file is to be transferred to a target device;

    generating, by the source device, a source profile for the source file by searching for parameters of the source file in the media library;

    generating, by the source device, the source profile for the source file by inspecting the source file to access the parameters of the source file when searching for the parameters in the media library is unsuccessful;

    generating, by the source device, the source profile for the source file by assigning an artificial source profile to the source file when obtaining the parameters from inspecting the source file fails; and

    determining, by the source device, whether the source file needs to be transcoded by comparing device capabilities of the target device with the source profile.
