Abstract
A video data searching method and system and a video data editing method and system suitable for searching and editing of video data are disclosed. In order to search video data which are contents recorded in a video database, attendant information recorded incidentally to the video data is utilized as information representative of the contents, and if an attendant information search condition is given as a given condition, then an attendant information readout section reads in the attendant information from the video database, and an attendant information search section searches the attendant information based on the search condition to determine a pertaining attendant information. Thus, video data which make an object can be specified only from the attendant information without opening the video data. Then, a video data searching section fetches pertaining video data from the video database based on the attendant information.
