Abstract
An interfacing system enables an application client to interface with a device driver in a client device with persistent storage. In some preferred embodiments, the interfacing system includes a memory with logic and a processor configured with the logic to use the normal play time locations to reference media content instances of a buffer file stored in clusters of a hard disk. In some preferred embodiments, the processor is configured with the logic to designate one of the referenced media content instances of the buffer file as a permanent file.
