    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for presenting menus to DVR users and users of other media playback devices are described. After a DVR (or other media device) has finished playing a recorded television program (or other content), or in response to other specified events, the DVR presents a screen which comprises a menu. In addition to or in alternative to “save” and “delete” options, the menu comprises one or more options. Each of these other options may correspond to a separate item. For example, a user's selection of such an option may cause the DVR to display or play certain content on the user's television set. Additionally, or alternatively, these other options, when selected by a user, may cause the DVR to display a user interface through which the user can actually interact with content, such as an item that was featured or referenced in the television program that the user was just watching.

    Abstract translation: 描述用于向DVR用户和其他媒体回放设备的用户呈现菜单的方法和装置。 在DVR（或其他媒体设备）已经完成播放录制的电视节目（或其他内容）之后，或者响应于其他指定的事件，DVR呈现包括菜单的屏幕。 除了“保存”和“删除”选项之外，或者替代“菜单”还包括一个或多个选项。 这些其他选项中的每一个可以对应于单独的项目。 例如，用户选择这样的选项可能导致DVR在用户的电视机上显示或播放某些内容。 另外或替代地，当由用户选择时，这些其他选项可能导致DVR显示用户界面，用户可以通过该界面实际地与内容（例如在电视节目中被特征或被引用的项目）进行交互，该用户界面是用户 只是在看

    Abstract: Techniques for making content available to a DVR are described. Content encoded in any encoding format may be automatically transcoded, on a computer, into an encoding format that a DVR is configured to decode. The transcoded content is automatically sent over a LAN from the computer to the DVR. The DVR receives the transcoded content, stores the transcoded content, and indicates, through a user interface, that the content is available for viewing. A transcoding agent executing on the computer may automatically and periodically transcode, into an encoding format that the DVR is configured to decode, content that is contained in one folder, and move the transcoded content from that folder into another folder. The computer may send, to the DVR, instructions which cause the DVR to request transcoded content that is in the latter folder. The computer sends transcoded content to the DVR in response to such a request.

    Abstract translation: 描述了将内容提供给DVR的技术。 以任何编码格式编码的内容可以在计算机上自动转码成DVR配置为解码的编码格式。 代码转换的内容通过LAN自动从计算机发送到DVR。 DVR接收经转码的内容，存储转码内容，并通过用户界面指示内容可供观看。 在计算机上执行的代码转换代理可以自动和周期性地转码成DVR被配置为对包含在一个文件夹中的内容进行解码的编码格式，并将该代码转换的内容从该文件​​夹移动到另一文件夹中。 计算机可以向DVR发送导致DVR请求在后一文件夹中的经转码的内容的指令。 计算机响应于这样的请求向DVR发送代码转换的内容。

    Abstract: In an embodiment, the playing of an advertisement may be detected by identifying the persons associated with the faces in the advertisement portion of the media content and determining that the identified persons are not actors listed for the media content. In an embodiment, the advertisement may be enhanced with additional content pertaining to the product or service being advertised. In an embodiment, the advertisement may be automatically fast-forwarded, muted, or replaced with an alternate advertisement. In an embodiment, only a non-advertisement portion of the media content may be recorded by skipping over the detected advertisement portion of the media content.

    Abstract translation: 在一个实施例中，可以通过识别与媒体内容的广告部分中的面部相关联的人并且确定所标识的人不是为媒体内容列出的演员来检测广告的播放。 在一个实施例中，可以通过与被广告的产品或服务相关的附加内容来增强广告。 在一个实施例中，广告可以被自动快速转发，静音或替换为替代广告。 在一个实施例中，可以通过跳过检测到的媒体内容的广告部分来仅记录媒体内容的非广告部分。
