Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of transcoding a media data file stored in a first computing device for transferring to a second, portable computing device, the method comprising: receiving a selection of a media data file to be transcoded; determining device parameters of the second computing device, responsive to the second computing device being in communication with the first computing device; transcoding the selected media data file in accordance with the determined device parameters of the second computing device, when the second computing device is in communication with the first computing device; continuing to transcode the selected media data file in accordance with the determined device parameters of the second computing device, even when the second computing device becomes communicatively disconnected from the first computing device in the middle of said transcoding and the second computing device is not in communication with the first computing device; and responsive to the second computing device being in communication with the first computing device, transferring the transcoded media data file from the first computing device to the second computing device.
