  • Patent number: 9626372
    Abstract: A method and system concatenate multiple media files into a single, continuous media file. The method includes receiving a group of media files and metadata about the group over a network connection. The method also includes in response to receiving the group of media files, determining an order of the media files in the group based at least partially on the metadata. The method includes concatenating the group of media files into a concatenated file based on the determined order. The concatenated file may be transferred to a client device over a network connection. The concatenated file may be transcoded into a file format determined based on the user device before transferring the concatenated file to the user device. The order of the media files in the group may be determined based on a timecode for each of the media files, which is included within the metadata.

  • Patent number: 8977778
    Abstract: A method, system and computer readable medium compress and send media files. The method includes sending a computer program for compressing and sending media files to a client computer. The computer program comprises program code for identifying information about a media file in response to receiving a request to send a media file, determining whether the media file is compressible based on the identified information, identifying a compression algorithm based on the identified information, compressing the media file using the compression algorithm, and sending the compressed media file to one or more server computers. The method further includes receiving the compressed media file sent from the client computer.
