METHOD FOR TRANSCODING AND PLAYING VIDEO FILES BACK USING GRID TECHNOLOGY ON DEVICES HAVING LIMITED COMPUTING POWER

摘要

The present invention relates to the production of an application for transcoding video files for devices having limited computing power by means of using a grid computing platform (12). The platform offers storage space for the user (making use of the distributed storage capacity of the GRID platform and its own security mechanisms) where both the original video and the transcoded video will be stored. The solution also provides the device with middleware with GRID capacities (16) in order to achieve complete GRID integration. That means that the transcoding application could either be run directly in the terminal or in the GRID.
