Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a virtual staging area for presenting media content. The virtual staging area of some embodiments is formed by staging areas of multiple different devices in which a same set of content can be viewed. To provide a common viewing experience, the staging areas are presented in a similar manner across different types of user devices. Each staging area may be presented as a virtual movie theatre that has movie posters that advertise user content. A sharing service operates on each of the different devices to facilitate the virtual staging area. The sharing service of some embodiments allows a person to choose a piece of content stored on a device. The sharing service then publishes the content to the device's staging area. From there, the content is then distributed across to the person's other devices.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for automatically identifying settings of a media file. The method initially receives the identification of a piece of media content. Media content includes sound and image data that can be stored as a media file. It then performs an automated process for discovering the media settings of the media file. Examples of settings that are automatically identified in some embodiments include video codec type, audio codec type, frame height and frame width, video bit rate, video frame rate, audio channels, etc. The method then stores the media settings that are discovered from the media file. The stored media settings are used subsequently in some embodiments to generate a media file.
