A computer implemented method and apparatus for just-in-time transcoding. The method comprises receiving at a media server, video content, wherein the video content comprises a plurality of key frames and delta frames; generating, in response to receiving the video content, metadata, wherein the metadata is a lookup table of the plurality of key frames; storing the video content and the metadata; receiving a first request to view video content; generating a playlist for the video content; receiving a second request to view a video segment of the video content; and transcoding the video segment; and transmitting the transcoded video segment.

Method and apparatus for just-in-time transcoding

An apparatus adapted to operate as an A party in a database synchronization with a B party via a mobile communication network. The database contains data items to be synchronized. The apparatus includes mechanisms for maintaining a copy of the database and a client-server communication module with a client part and a server part. The client part is configured to communicate via the mobile communication network with the server part of the B party. The apparatus also includes change detection mechanisms responsive to a detection of a changed data item, for initiating a synchronization event via the client part of the client-server communication module.
