Media recorder for capture and playback of live prerecorded audio and/or video information
First Claim
1. A system for capturing video data defining a moving picture, comprising:
- means for receiving the video data from a source;
means for storing, in real time as the video data is received, the video data as a computer data file on a non-volatile random-access computer-readable and rewritable medium;
means for detecting a discontinuity from the source; and
means for controlling the means for storing to close the computer data file upon detection of the discontinuity by the means for detecting.

Abstract
The invention disclosed herein is a media recorder for recording live and prerecorded analog audio and/or video information. It is capable of receiving, digitizing, and storing analog audio and/or video information in real time. The invention detects discontinuities in the reception of the analog information and automatically terminates the storage of the information, so the previously received audio and/or video information is stored as a self-contained clip of digitized information. The invention is also capable of receiving and storing digital audio and/or video information from other sources, so that the system can play both the digital audio and/or video information digitized by it and that received from the other sources. This allows both the newly recorded and previously recorded media segments to be evaluated both individually and in context with other segments.
