Abstract
The present invention provides an easy-to-use centralized service for providing and using advanced video and audio browsing and tagging methods to create a revised and improved video media set and for enabling a user to auto-create a fixed media form of the so-edited and so-improved video. The present invention also enables a system that allows users to select varying degrees of automated creation of a fixed media form recording following editing and revision steps potentially involving synchronized tagging and commenting aspects. Systems and operational modes are provided for labeling and formatting the auto-generated fixed media data.
