Abstract

A contents recording system and a contents recording method reducing a time taken for recording and editing of video content and other video contents. An optical disk device for recording video content and a computer are connected via a network. The computer is supplied with low resolution proxy AV data from the optical disk device, streaming reproduces it as live video and, at the same time, introduces essence marks as meta-data to any positions of the proxy AV data, and describes them in a meta-data file. The optical disk device transmits a header including a recording period of a captured clip to the computer after the end of the capture of the clip.

Claims

1. A contents recording system including a first processing part transmitting video contents and a second processing part receiving the video contents, wherein

the first processing part is provided with

a contents recording part recording video contents in parts of a start of recording to an end of recording and

a transmitting part starting transmission to the second processing part in the order of recording the video contents before the contents recording part ends the recording of one video contents,

the second processing part is provided with

a receiving part receiving the video contents from the first processing part in order,

a display part displaying the received video contents, and

an index information processing part introducing to a desired position of the video contents displayed on the display part index information serving as an index of that position of the video and recording that position and index information linked together, and

the first processing part transmits first additional information including at least a recording period of the contents information to the second processing part along with the end of recording of the contents information by the recording part.

2. A contents recording system as set forth in claim 1, wherein the said second processing part generates a contents file corresponding to said contents information based on contents information received by said receiving part, first additional information received in accordance with said contents information, and second additional information indicating an end position of said contents information.

3. A contents recording system as set forth in claim 1, wherein

said first processing part manages the video contents of the recorded objects by unique contents IDs and

said second processing part processes the received video contents and the contents IDs of the video contents linked together.

4. A contents recording system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said first processing part converts said video contents to second video contents of a lower resolution than said video contents and transmits that to the second processing part.

5. A contents recording method performed between a first processing system and a second processing system, said method including the steps of:

having the first processing system

start recording of video contents and

start transmission of the video contents to the second processing part in the order of recording before ending the recording of the video contents and

having the second processing system

sequentially receive the video contents,

display the received video contents,

introduce to a desired position of the video contents to be displayed index information serving as an index of that position of the video,

record the introduced index information and the corresponding position linked together, and

acquire first additional information including at least a recording period of the contents information from the first processing system along with the end of the recording of the contents information.

6. A contents transmitting system for transmitting video contents to a processing system, comprising:

a contents recording part recording video contents in parts from a start of recording to an end of recording and

a transmitting part starting transmission of said video contents to said processing system in the order of recording before said contents recording part finishes recording one video contents, wherein

said transmitting part transmits to said processing system first additional information including at least a recording period of said contents information along with an end of recording of the contents information by said contents recording part.
