ABSTRACT:
A method for operating a streaming media cache includes receiving a series of streaming media data packets from an upstream server, each of the series of streaming media data packets having media data encoded in one of a plurality of encoding formats, forming bundles of data packets from the series of streaming media data packets, and storing bundles of data packets into a disk memory when every data packet within each bundle have a similar encoding format.
