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. Then, after finishing shooting one clip, the computer merges a meta-data file generated on the optical disk device side in accordance with camera adjustment and a meta-data file generated on the computer side in accordance with the user operation.

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 includes

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, and

the second processing part includes

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.

2. A contents recording system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said second processing part successively displays the video of the positions of the video contents and index information linked together.

3. A contents recording system as set forth in claim 2, wherein said display part includes

a first display area successively displaying received video contents and

a second display area displaying the video of the positions of the video contents and index information linked together in a scrollable manner.

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

said first processing part generates a first file linking positions of said video contents and index information set in accordance with the positions and

said second processing part generates a second file linking positions of said video contents and index information introduced corresponding to said positions and generates a third file merging said first and second files conditional on the recording of said video contents ending.

5. A contents recording system as set forth in claim 4, 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 that video contents.

6. 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.

7. A contents recording system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said second processing part has a detection part detecting a state of whether said contents recording part is in the middle of recording and displays the results of detection of said detection part on said display part.

8. 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.

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

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, and

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

10. 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,

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, and

a processing part generating a first file linking positions of said video contents and index information set corresponding to those positions linked together and transmitting the same to said processing system, wherein

said transmitting part acquires from said contents processing system a third file merging a second file linking positions of said video contents and new index information and said first file generated conditional on said contents processing system finishing the recording of said video contents by said contents recording part and records the acquired third file in place of said first file.

11. A contents processing system for processing video contents transmitted from a contents transmitting system, comprising:

a receiving part receiving video contents from said video contents transmitting system in order and receiving a first file linking positions of said video contents and index information set corresponding to said positions generated by said contents transmitting part and

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

said processing part generates a second file linking positions of video contents and new index information corresponding to said positions and generating a third file merging said first and second files conditional on said contents transmitting system finishing recording of said video contents.
