Abstract

A system and method of transforming the standard compressed media stream used for distribution to a local form for a client station. A media stream is downloaded from an input source to a device in the local station and then played out the video stream in the local station. During the playout, the stream is transformed to another storage format by altering the standard/original compression form to a local form.
