11. A computer-implemented method for generating a representative sample of a media object, comprising:
accessing a set of media objects, each of the set of media objects comprising media object data and a set of media object properties; and
generating a representative sample for at least one of the media objects, the representative sample being encapsulated in the set of media object properties for that media object, the representative sample comprising one or more representative sample properties or associated values that characterize the representative sample; and
comparing the one or more representative sample properties or associated values with one or more representative sample property parameters associated with a device that define a numerical range or a numerical value for which the one or more representative sample properties are valid to determine if the representative sample is valid such that the representative sample can be adequately retrieved, accessed, viewed, or output by the device.
