Video streaming apparatus, video editing apparatus, and video delivery system

A video editing apparatus which receives video data and edits a video based on the video data, the video editing apparatus comprising:

• additional information interpretation means for interpreting additional information associated with the video data;
• and
• range designation means for allowing a user to select a time range in the video, wherein
• the additional information interpretation means determines, from the additional information, whether first video data corresponding to editing video data to be edited is held in a video streaming apparatus from which the editing video data has been transmitted, and
• the range designation means indicates, to the user, a time range for which the first video data corresponding to the editing video data is held in the video streaming apparatus, based on the determination by the additional information interpretation means.

• the range designation means gives notice to the user when the additional information interpretation means determines that a time range designated by the user includes a time range for which the first video data corresponding to the editing video data is not held in the video streaming apparatus.

A video delivery system comprising:

• a video streaming apparatus which records and transmits video data;
• and a video editing apparatus which receives the video data and edits a video based on the video data,
• the video streaming apparatus including:
• a video generation unit which generates first video data and second video data having a bit rate lower than the first video data, based on a same video;
• a streaming processing unit which divides the second video data to generate a transmission packet and transmits the transmission packet;
• and
• a record processing unit which controls recording the first video data as a video file into a recording medium, depending on an operational instruction, wherein
• the streaming processing unit transmits, as additional information, information indicating whether the record processing unit has recorded the first video data in the video file,
• the video editing apparatus including:
• additional information interpretation means for interpreting the additional information associated with the second video data received from the video streaming apparatus;
• and
• range designation means for allowing a user to select a time range in the video, wherein
• the additional information interpretation means determines, from the additional information, whether the first video data corresponding to editing video data to be edited is held in the video streaming apparatus from which the editing video data has been transmitted, and
• the range designation means indicates, to the user, a time range for which the first video data corresponding to the editing video data is held in the video streaming apparatus, based on the determination by the additional information interpretation means.
