Abstract
An approach provides distributed editing and storage of digital media. Video information is retrieved during recording of the video information to a video file. The video information is edited during the recording of the video information. An index file for the media is generated during the recording of the media, wherein the index file include indices for decoding the media; and periodically updating the index file throughout the recording of the media. After completion of the recording of the media, another index file is generated corresponding to the media for inclusion into the media file.

15. A method for processing media, the method comprising:
-
determining existence of a supplemental index file corresponding to a media stream, wherein the supplemental index file is generated during streaming and specifies decoding of the media stream for playback at asynchronous points in the media stream; based on the determination, playing back the media stream according to a selected supplemental index of the supplemental index file; and generating an index file separate from the supplemental index file upon completion of the streaming. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
