摘要

A method and system concatenate multiple media files into a single, continuous media file. The method includes receiving a group of media files and metadata about the group over a network connection. The method also includes in response to receiving the group of media files, determining an order of the media files in the group based at least partially on the metadata. The method includes concatenating the group of media files into a concatenated file based on the determined order. The concatenated file may be transferred to a client device over a network connection. The concatenated file may be transcoded into a file format determined based on the user device before transferring the concatenated file to the user device. The order of the media files in the group may be determined based on a timecode for each of the media files, which is included within the metadata.
