Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing streaming media data. A graphical user interface having a set of controls for use in managing a media data stream is presented. User input is received for use in managing the media data stream in which the user input includes an identification of a source of the media data stream, a start time, and a desired format. The media data stream is requested using the start time and the identification of the source. The media data stream is converted into the desired format to form a formatted media data stream. The formatted media data stream is then stored on a storage media.
Claims42
A method in a data processing system for managing streaming media data, the method comprising:
- presenting a graphical user interface having a set of controls for use in managing a media data stream;
- receiving user input for use in managing the media data stream, wherein the user input includes an identification of a source of the media data stream, a start time, and a desired format;
- requesting the media data stream using the start time and the identification of the source;
- converting the media data stream into the desired format to form a formatted media data stream;
- and
- storing the formatted media data stream on a storage media.
A method in a data processing system for managing streaming media data, the method comprising:
- presenting a graphical user interface having a set of controls for use in managing a media data stream, wherein the set of controls includes a first control used to select a format for storing the media data stream and a second control used to select a location to store the media data stream;
- receiving user input selecting the format and the location;
- responsive to receiving the media data stream, converting the media data stream into the format to form a formatted media data stream;
- and
- storing the formatted media data stream in the location.
A data processing system for managing streaming media data, the data processing system comprising:
- a bus system;
- a communications unit connected to the bus system;
- a memory connected to the bus system, wherein the memory includes a set of instructions;
- and
- a processing unit connected to the bus system,
- wherein the processing unit executes the set of instructions to present a graphical user interface having a set of controls for use in managing a media data stream;
- receive user input for use in managing the media data stream in which the user input includes an identification of a source of the media data stream, a start time, and a desired format;
- request the media data stream using the start time and the identification of the source;
- convert the media data stream into the desired format to form a formatted media data stream;
- and store the formatted media data stream on a storage media.
