Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a device, a media stream for content in a first format and encoded for a specific bit rate; extracting, by the device, raw encoded content data from the media stream, creating, by the device, stream information for the raw encoded content data that indicates data frames within the raw encoded content data; inserting, by the device, the raw encoded content data into a data section in a structured file; inserting, by the device, the stream information into a header section in the structured file; storing, by the device, the structured file in at least one storage device; receiving, by the device and from another device, a request for the content in a second format at the specific bit rate; retrieving, by the device, the stored structured file from the at least one storage device; extracting, by the device, the raw encoded content data from the data section in the structured file using the stream information in the header section of the structured file; formatting, by the device, the extracted raw encoded content data into an output stream in the second format; and streaming, by the device, the output stream to the other device.
