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. And then, headers and footers added proxy AV data files are forwarded to computer after a filming of one clip finish.

Claims

1. A contents recording system having 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 the video contents in parts of a start of recording to an end of recording and

a transmitting part starting the 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 generates a contents file corresponding to the video contents and transmits it to said second processing part based on first additional information including at least a recording period of the contents information and second additional information showing an end position of said video contents after the end of recording of the contents information.

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

said first processing part generates a first file linking a position of the video contents and index information set corresponding to that position, and

said second processing part generates a second file linking a position of the video contents transmitted from the first processing part and index information introduced corresponding to said position and generates a third file combining said first and second files.

3. A contents recording system as set forth in claim 2, wherein said first processing part acquires a third file corresponding to one video contents from the second processing part and records the acquired third file in place of the first file generated for the video contents.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. A contents recording method performed between a first processing system and a second processing system, including

having the first processing system

record video contents and

transmit the video contents to the second processing part along with the end of recording of said video contents,

having the second processing system

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, and

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

having said first processing system further

generate a contents file corresponding to the video contents based on first additional information including at least a recording period of the contents information and second additional information showing an end position of said video contents after the end of recording of the contents information.

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

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

a processing part converting said first video contents to second video contents with a lower resolution than said first video contents, and

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

said contents recording part recording in a recording medium a contents file to which have been added first additional information including at least a length of said second video contents corresponding to the first video contents and second additional information showing an end position of said second video contents after the end of recording of the first contents information and

said transmitting part transmits said contents file to said processing system after an end of recording of said first video contents information by said contents recording part.
