Abstract
An enhanced digital video recording device is provided to enhance digital video recording performance, features and user experience. The recording device has a processor and a storage unit, where the storage unit has multiple computer memory units, such as SSDs, HDDs, and video transcoder for transcoding video data in a data stream. The video transcoder interacts with a controller of the storage module to differentiate between video data packets and non-video data packets of the data stream based on one or more determination criteria. Responsive to data stream being video data stream, the video transcoder transcodes the data packets of the data stream. Responsive to the data packets being encrypted, the video transcoder obtains and/or generates encryption keys and decrypts the data packets. The video transcoder also periodically provides feedback data generated from transcoding process to enhance the transcoding operations.
