Abstract:
A method and apparatus for streaming of data from a remote computer to a recordable media production system is described that utilizes a client computer based application that reduces or eliminates the need for caching of data at the production system, as well as increases security and reliability. This is accomplished in the various embodiments with a client computer application that is run at the user level reducing system complexity and the need for system administrator involvement and oversight. The application pushes data to a production system “on the fly” without requiring a cache or extra disk space.
