Abstract

A method and system are provided for wireless multimedia customization for different access networks with variable network conditions and device types. In one aspect, when a multimedia content clip is available, the clip is processed for transport by processing it in accordance with different options for the content clip in an optimized way that helps dynamic customization. For example, instead of preparing a version of the entire content clip, targeted for a particular network condition and target device characteristics, or creating a separate processed clip for each compression parameter available, a set of content ingredients are generated that can address a wide range of network conditions even through dynamic fluctuations in conditions and device characteristics.
