Apparatus and method for distributing media content

摘要

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a server having a controller to access multiple media content in response to a request to record the multiple media content from a first communication device, adjust a format of at least a portion of the multiple media content based at least in part on a user profile associated with the first communication device, and compile the adjusted multiple media content for delivery. Other embodiments are disclosed.

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising
computer instructions which when executed by a processor causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving from a first communication device a request for recording multiple media content;obtaining multiple versions of each of the multiple media content, wherein a group of first versions of the multiple versions of the multiple media content has a lower resolution and more error correction data than a group of second versions of the multiple versions of the multiple media content;accessing a user profile associated with the first communication device;adjusting a format of a portion of the multiple media content to generate adjusted multiple media content based in part on the user profile;concatenating the adjusted multiple media content that includes the group of second versions to generate second concatenated media content for delivery;transmitting the second concatenated media content to the first communication device;monitoring for a fault in delivery of the second concatenated media content to the first communication device;responsive to a detection of the fault, concatenating the adjusted multiple media content that includes the group of first versions to generate first concatenated media content for delivery; andresponsive to the detection of the fault ceasing the transmitting of the second concatenated media content and commencing transmitting, of the first concatenated media content to the first communication device.
