The system 10 includes recording software 20, storage memory 30, a code generator 40, and a user interface 50. Preferably, the recording software 20 is located on the host back end 60 where it processes and records audio and video material that originates from the user front end 70 and is streamed to the host back end. The storage memory 30, which is also located on the host back end 60, stores the recorded audio and video material. The user interface 50 to the system provides a user located at the user front end 70 with remote access to a virtual recording room. The user interface 50 further enables the user to record audio and video material streamed from the user front end 70 by activating the recording software 20 located on the host back end 60. This is accomplished without requiring recording functionality on the user front end 70. The code generator 30 produces code associated with the recorded audio and video material. This code can be easily copied and pasted to an additional location 80, such as an auction website. Activating the code pasted at the additional location 80 provides access to the recorded audio and video material from the additional location while allowing the recorded audio and video material to remain stored at the host back end 60. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: Receiving digital audio and digital video material from a front end digital audio and digital video capturing device, wherein the front end digital audio and digital video capturing device is a wireless device; recording the digital audio and digital video material at a host back end server, thereby creating recorded digital audio and digital video material; wherein the recorded digital audio and digital video material includes an audio portion and a video portion; wherein the digital audio and digital video material is received over a mobile wireless communications network; and wherein the digital audio and digital video material is captured on the wireless device without installing on the wireless device any dedicated software that can facilitate editing the digital audio and digital video material and that records the digital audio and digital video material as a complete file to a local storage memory on the wireless device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising providing, through a user interface, access to the recorded digital audio and digital video material to edit the recorded digital audio and digital video material. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the digital audio and digital video material is recorded at the host back server as a stored file and the method further comprises: generating a pointer comprising a URL associated with the stored file to facilitate accessing of the stored file; receiving input from the wireless device; and in response to the input, providing access to the recorded digital audio and digital video material. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the digital audio and digital video material is streamed from the wireless device. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the digital video material comprises sequential digital images and the digital audio material is recorded at the wireless device, and wherein the method further comprises limiting a time length of the recording of the digital audio material. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, further comprising limiting the time length to 60 seconds. ### Claim 7 A method comprising: receiving, over a packet-based network, at least one digital image from a front end digital audio and digital video capturing device; recording the digital image at a host back end server; receiving digital audio material from the front end digital audio and digital video capturing device and associating the digital image with the digital audio material; and recording, at the host back end server, the digital audio material with the digital image; wherein the digital image and the digital audio material are captured on the front end digital audio and digital video capturing device without installing on the front end digital audio and digital video capturing device any custom software that records digital audio and digital image material as a complete file to a local storage memory. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising limiting a time length of the digital audio material correlated with the sequential digital images. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising limiting the time length to 60 seconds. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising correlating the digital audio material with the digital image by associating the digital audio material with a timestamp. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the timestamp and the digital image are received from a user through click events in a user interface. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein recording, at the host back end server, the digital audio material correlated with the digital image comprises establishing a real time messaging connection between the front end digital audio and digital video capturing device and the host back end server, and streaming to the host back end server the digital audio material correlated with the digital image. ### Claim 13 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising: generating a pointer comprising a URL associated with the correlated digital image and digital audio material to facilitate accessing of the correlated sequential digital images and digital audio material; receiving input comprising activation of the pointer; and providing remote user access to the correlated sequential digital images and digital audio material in response to activation of the pointer. ### Claim 14 A method comprising: receiving, at a host back end server via at least a packet-based network, digital audio and digital video material from a front end digital audio and digital video capturing device, wherein the digital audio and digital video material is captured on the front end digital audio and digital video capturing device without installing on the front end digital audio and digital video capturing device any specialized software that solely records digital audio and digital video material as a complete file to a local storage memory; recording the digital audio and digital video material at the host back end server as a stored file, wherein the recorded digital audio and digital video material includes a recorded audio portion and a recorded video portion; and facilitating modification of the stored file to a remote user by providing on the front end digital audio and digital video capturing device a record button that initiates the capture of digital audio material. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein the step of facilitating modification of the stored file to a remove user includes providing a stop button on the front end digital audio and digital video capturing device the ceases the capture of digital audio material. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein the step of facilitating modification of the stored file to a remove user includes providing a play button on the front end digital audio and digital video capturing device that plays back previously recorded digital audio material. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, wherein the previously recorded digital audio material is streamed to the front end digital audio and digital video capturing device. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein a recording duration at the host back end server is limited to a predetermined length of time. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The method of claim 18, wherein the predetermined time is about 60 seconds.
