- at least one user computerized electronic memory device enabling a manipulation of said time-based media;
user interface means for enabling at least a transmission of said time-based media from said computerized electronic memory device to means for encoding and for storing said encoded time-based media in at least an initial encoded state within an electronic system environment;
metadata system means for creating, storing, and managing a plurality of layers of metadata each in a manner associated with said initial encoded state of said encoded time-based media without modifying said initial encoded state of said encoded time-based media;
electronic interaction system means for interacting with said metadata system means for creating, storing and managing to enable said at least one user to modify said metadata associated with said initial encoded state of said time-based media to establish at least one stored user playback decision list preference; and
said electronic interaction system means including means for enabling a display of said encoded time-based media according to said at least one stored user playback decision list preference, thereby enabling a modified display of said encoded time-based media without modifying said initial encoded state of said encoded time-based media.

Abstract
The present invention provides a system and method for enabling shared viewing and editing of time-based media with improved speed by avoiding manipulation and re-manipulation of a stored underlying video data format through the use of metadata processes and cross-linked multi-level metadata processes and systems for operating with a decision list tracking device.
