Due to the increasing availability of audio/visual data on the Internet, proxy caching is gaining on importance as a per- formance factor. This increase is accompanied by a diversi- flcation in the end terminals, which calls for media gateways and fllters. An adaptive proxy is presented which performs (1) caching, (2) flltering and (3) media gateway functionality in one. The proxy can perform media adaptation { using transcoding { on its own. A cost model is presented which incorporates user requirements, terminal capabilities and video variations in one formula. Based on this model, the proxy acts as a general broker of difierent user requirements and of difierent video variations. This is a flrst step towards What You Need is What You Get (WYNIWYG) video services, which deliver videos to users in exactly that quality what they need and what they want to pay for. The MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 standards enables this in an interoperable way. A detailed evaluation based on a series of measurements is provided.
