1. A method for transferring multimedia content from a first device to a second device, comprising:
- determining whether a capability file is stored in the second device, the capability file including transcoding parameters associated with storage of multimedia content in the second device;
accessing the capability file to determine the transcoding parameters, if the capability file is stored in the second device;
deriving the transcoding parameters from a multimedia content file stored in the second device and creating another capability file based upon the transcoding parameters derived from the multimedia content file, if the capability file is not stored in the second device;
transcoding another multimedia content file stored in the first device based upon the transcoding parameters to provide a transcoded multimedia content file; and
transferring the transcoded multimedia content file to the second device.

3. An apparatus comprising:
-
a processor configured to transfer multimedia content from a first device to a second device; an identifier engine configured to; determine whether a capability file is stored in the second device, the capability file including transcoding parameters associated with storage of multimedia content in the second device; access the capability file to determine the transcoding parameters, if the capability file is stored in the second device; and derive the transcoding parameters from a multimedia content file stored in the second device, if the capability file is not stored in the second device; a file creator engine configured to create another capability file based upon the transcoding parameters derived from the multimedia content file, if the capability file is not stored in the second device; a transcoder engine configured to transcode another multimedia content file stored in the first device based upon the transcoding parameters to provide a transcoded multimedia content file; and a transfer engine configured to transfer the transcoded multimedia content file to the second device. - View Dependent Claims (4, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 20)

16. In an encoder/transcoder device, a method for transferring multimedia content files from a first device to a second device, comprising:
-
searching a memory associated with the second device to find a first capability file, the first capability file including transcoding parameters for transfer of a multimedia content file from the first device to the second device; and if the first capability file is not found; searching the memory for another multimedia content file; deriving the transcoding parameters from the another multimedia content file; and creating a second capability file from the transcoding parameters; transcoding the multimedia content file stored in the first device utilizing the transcoding parameters from the first capability file, if the first capability file is found, to provide a transcoded multimedia content file; transcoding the multimedia content file utilizing the transcoding parameters from the second capability file, if the first capability file is not found, to provide the transcoded multimedia content file; and transferring the transcoded multimedia content file to the second device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 21)
