1. A printer for printing time-based media, the printer comprising:
- an interface for receiving time-based media from an external source;
a media processing system coupled to the interface to receive the time-based media, the media processing system creating a printed representation of the time-based media and determining an electronic representation of the time-based media, wherein the printed representation includes a representation of the time-based media at a plurality of times thereof and a plurality of bar codes that associate time locations within the electronic representation with the plurality of times represented in the printed representation;
a printed output system in communication with the media processing system to receive the printed representation, the printed output system producing a corresponding printed output from the printed representation of the time-based media; and
a electronic output system in communication with the media processing system to receive the electronic representation, the electronic output system producing a corresponding electronic output from the electronic representation of the time-based media.

Abstract
A multifunction printer enables the printing of time-based media. Based on received time-based media data, the printer produces a paper or other printed output as well as a related electronic output. Together, the printed and electronic outputs provide a representation of the time-based media. Depending on the desired application for the printer, the printer may include any combination of mechanisms for receiving media data, printing the printed output, and producing the electronic output.

51. A method for printing time-based media, the method comprising:
-
receiving time-based media from an external source; processing the time-based media at least in part within a printing system to create a printed representation of the time-based media and determine an electronic representation of the time-based media, wherein the printed representation includes a representation of the time-based media at a plurality of times thereof and a plurality of bar codes that associate time locations within the electronic representation with the plurality of times represented in the printed representation; producing a printed output that corresponds to the printed representation of the time-based media; and producing an electronic output that corresponds to the electronic representation of the time-based media. - View Dependent Claims (52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68)
