Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method of selecting an optimal controller for transcoding, comprising: selecting and loading at least one module according to at least one configuration parameter; selecting and loading a plurality of controllers associated with the at least one module; obtaining a plurality of controller priority values and a plurality of controller data strings, wherein each of the plurality of controller priority values is associated with one of the plurality of controllers, and wherein each of the plurality of controller data strings is associated with one of the plurality of controllers; selecting one of the plurality of controllers as the optimal controller, such that: the priority value associated with the optimal controller is greater than or equal to the priority value associated with each of the other controllers; and wherein selecting one of the plurality of controllers as the optimal controller is selected such that the data string associated with the optimal controller is one of: (1) longer than and (2) longer than or equal in length to each of the data strings associated with each of the other controllers associated with a priority value equal to the priority value associated with the optimal controller.
