Abstract:
Techniques are described for remuxing multimedia content received in a digital video broadcasting format without performing transcoding of the video and/or audio content. For example, a computing device with a digital television tuner can receive multimedia content in a digital video broadcast format. The computing device can remux the received multimedia content from the digital video broadcasting format in which the multimedia content is received into a target streaming protocol for streaming to other devices. Remuxing operations can comprise demultiplexing the received multimedia content to separate the audio and video content, performing meta-data reconstruction, and multiplexing the audio and video content into a target stream using a target streaming protocol format.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented system is provided that facilitates implementation of a voice-over-IP (VOIP) application. The system includes a host system and a user interface (UI) host process residing on the host system. The system also includes an agent host process residing on the host system which is being configured to process a VOIP call received by one or more VOIP applications executable on the host system. A moniker protocol is utilized for redirection of input and output between a media element which is utilized to render media on a display on the system. The redirection enables media processing to be allocated between the UI host process in the foreground and the agent host process in the background to thereby reduce latency perceived by a user during a VOIP experience.
