Estimating the term…
A content moving device which enables providing content stored on a first user device, such as a DVR, in a first format and resolution to be provided to a second user device, such as a portable media player (PMP) in a second format and resolution. The content moving device identifies content on the first user device as candidate content which may be desired by the PMP and receives the candidate content from the DVR. The content moving device transcodes the candidate content at times independent of a request from the PMP for the content. The content moving device may provide a list of available transcoded content to the PMP for selection, and provide selected content to the PMP. The content moving device may also provide information relating to any protection schemes of the content provided to the PMP, such as DRM rights and decryption keys. The content moving device performs the often computationally intense and time consuming transcoding of user content to enable the user to move content between different user devices in a convenient manner.
An apparatus for moving content from a first user device to a second user device, comprising:
A method for moving content from a first user device to a second user device using a content moving device, comprising the steps of:
A non-transitory computer readable medium containing a computer implementable instructions for moving content from a first user device to a second user device using a content moving device, comprising the steps of:
