  • receiving media data in a first format;

    initiating a first conversion of the media data at the first format to a second converted format;

    identifying parameters dictating the conversion to the second converted format;

    determining a quality of at least a first portion of the media data in the second converted format;

    adjusting a set of parameters from the identified parameters;

    re-converting at least the first portion of the media data at the first format to the second converted format while applying the set of adjusted parameters producing at least a first portion of an adjusted media data in the second converted format;

    determining whether the first portion of the adjusted media data in the second converted format has a quality that exceeds the quality of the first portion of the media data in the second converted format;

    recording the parameters, where the recording the parameters comprises recording the set of parameters when the first portion of the adjusted media data in the second converted format has a quality that exceeds the quality of the first portion of the media data in the second converted format; and
