1. A system for reformatting media content, comprising:
- a media server coupled to a network;
a first communications device in communication with the network;
a second communications device in communication with the network configured to receive, from the first communications device, a device profile of the first communications device; and
a format conversion server in communication with the network, the format conversion server configured to receive the device profile of the first communications device from the second communications device, the format conversion server further configured to reformat media content provided by the media server based at least in part on the device profile of the first communications device.

Abstract
Systems and methods that reformat media are described. In one embodiment, a system may include, for example, a server, a first communications device and a second communications device. The server, the first communications device and the second communications device may be operatively coupled to a network. The second communications device may receive, from the first communications device, a device profile relating to the first communications device and may send the device profile and media content to the server. The server may reformat the media content based on the device.
