The system comprising a mobile device comprising a video camera configured to capture a video stream; and an audio-video binding module, implemented using at least a processor, wherein said synchronization module is configured to generate a multimedia stream comprising the video stream and an audio stream, wherein the audio stream is generated by an external device to the mobile device and wherein said audio-video binding module is configured to synchronize between the audio and video streams based on correlating timing indications in both the audio and video streams. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computerized system comprising: a mobile device comprising a video camera configured to capture a video stream; and an audio-video binding module, implemented using at least a processor, wherein said synchronization module is configured to generate a multimedia stream comprising the video stream and an audio stream, wherein the audio stream is generated by an external device to the mobile device and wherein said audio-video binding module is configured to synchronize between the audio and video streams based on correlating timing indications in both the audio and video streams. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The computerized system of claim 1, wherein said mobile device comprising said audio-video binding module. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The computerized system of claim 1, wherein said mobile device comprising a receiver configured to receive from an external source the timing indications during capturing of the video stream, and wherein correlating timing indications are comprised in the audio stream. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The computerized system of claim 1, wherein audio-video binding module is comprised by a server, wherein the server is configured to obtain a plurality of video streams from a plurality of mobile devices and generate the multimedia stream based on the plurality of video streams and the audio stream. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The computerized system of claim 4, wherein the server is configured to provide for a crowd-sourced music clip of a live show performed in a location, and wherein the plurality of mobile devices were located at the location and were used to record the live show at least using their respective video cameras. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The computerized system of claim 4, wherein the server is configured to select portions of the plurality of video streams based on user input. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The computerized system of claim 1 further comprising a video-audio matcher, wherein said video-audio matcher is configured to obtain the audio stream that correlates to the video stream based on meta-data of the video stream. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The computerized system of claim 7, wherein the meta-data comprises: geo-location in which the video stream was recorded and time of recording. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The computerized system of claim 7, wherein the meta-data comprises a unique identifier of a show, wherein the meta-data was obtained by a receiver of the mobile device substantially during a time in which the mobile device recorded the video stream. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The computerized system of claim 1, wherein said audio-video binding module is operatively coupled to a rights management module, wherein the rights management module is configured to provide access to copyrighted audio streams in response to payment. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The computerized system of claim 1, wherein the audio stream is generated by a sound reinforcement system, wherein the mobile device captured the video stream while located at a location in which audio emitted by the sound reinforcement system is audible. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The computerized system of claim 1, wherein the mobile device is capable of capturing a distorted version of the audio stream. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The computerized system of claim 12, wherein the distorted version of the audio stream is distorted due to at least one of the following: a limitation of a microphone of the mobile device; and background noise by a crowd. ### Claim 14 A computer-implemented method performed by a processor, the method comprising: obtaining an audio stream and a video stream, wherein the video stream was captured by a mobile device having a camera, and wherein the audio stream was captured by an external device that is external to the mobile device; and binding, by the processor, the audio stream and the video stream to generate a multimedia stream comprising the audio stream and video stream, wherein said binding comprising synchronizing between the audio stream and the video stream based on correlating timing indications in both the audio and video streams. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein the mobile device comprising the processor, and said binding is performed by the mobile device. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein the audio and video streams each comprising timing indications, wherein the timing indications are generated by an external source to the mobile device and transmitted to both the mobile device and the external device simultaneously. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein the mobile device receiving the audio stream while capturing the video stream, and wherein said binding is performed in real-time. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein said binding is performed in response to authorizing access to the audio stream. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The method of claim 18, wherein said authorizing is based on a payment of a licensing fee. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The method of claim 18, wherein said authorizing comprises determining whether the video stream was captured at a same location in which a distorted version of the audio stream was recordable by the mobile device, whereby enabling a user of the mobile device to capture the video stream and an undistorted version of the audio stream.
