Patent Images
1. A method for management at least two audio, video, or data (AVD) streams, wherein each AVD stream may comprise a plurality of stream segments, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) storing the at least two AVD streams in a file wherein the at least two AVD streams may be paused and resumed independently of one another during a data conference, further wherein the stream segments of each AVD stream are continuously recorded portions of said AVD stream; and
(b) storing a stream segment directory (SSD) table having an SSD entry for each stream segment in the file, wherein the SSD entry corresponding to each corresponding stream segment comprises a plurality of fields for characterizing the corresponding stream segment.
