Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed for automatically capturing and supplying a video-on-demand (VOD) library to a subscriber system (150-1…150-n) by a provider system (110). A viewing-preference profile is generated for a viewer at the subscriber system (150-1…150-n), VOD content is automatically captured from available video content at the provider system (110) based upon the viewing-preference profile, and captured VOD content is supplied to the subscriber system (150-1…150-n) for use by the viewer. In one form, VOD content is updated by the automatic capture of newly available video content at the provider system (110).
