Abstract: The present system is a “just-in-time” approach that locates an online video file when it is requested by an online or mobile application, transfers it from the Web server, transcodes it, and serves it to the mobile handset in the appropriate format, speed, frame-size, and streaming method. Latency is low, with an acceptable balance between user experience and flexibility. Once a video has been transferred to the system, it is cached so it remains available for instant delivery on subsequent requests.

Abstract: The present system provides for the ability to automatically transmit and publish media content to desired locations. The locations can include computers, mobile devices, and web pages as desired. The system can be an automatic system, a push system, or a pull system as configured by user selection. Content files are automatically transcoded to the proper format depending on the destination of the content.
