Abstract
A method, apparatus, and storage medium for event tagging of at least one audio, video, or data (AVD) stream, each AVD stream comprising a plurality of AVD stream chunks. According to a preferred embodiment, the at least one AVD stream is stored. An event tag is stored in response to a signal indicating the beginning of an event, the event tag having an event stream information data (ESID) structure comprising an ESID entry for each AVD stream of the at least one AVD stream, each ESID entry comprising an offset for locating a corresponding AVD stream chunk of each active AVD stream of the at least one AVD stream.

A method for event tagging of at least one audio, video, or data (AVD) stream, each AVD stream comprising a plurality of AVD stream chunks, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) storing the at least one AVD stream;
- and
- (b) storing an event tag in response to a signal indicating the beginning of an event, the event tag having an event stream information data (ESID) structure comprising an ESID entry for each AVD stream of the at least one AVD stream, each ESID entry comprising an offset for locating a corresponding AVD stream chunk of each active AVD stream of the at least one AVD stream.
An apparatus for event tagging of at least one audio, video, or data (AVD) stream, each AVD stream comprising a plurality of AVD stream chunks, the apparatus comprising:
- (a) means for storing the at least one AVD stream;
- and
- (b) means for storing an event tag in response to a signal indicating the beginning of an event, the event tag having an event stream information data (ESID) structure comprising an ESID entry for each AVD stream of the at least one AVD stream, each ESID entry comprising an offset for locating a corresponding AVD stream chunk of each active AVD stream of the at least one AVD stream.
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of instructions for event tagging of at least one audio, video, or data (AVD) stream, each AVD stream comprising a plurality of AVD stream chunks, wherein the plurality of instructions, when executed by a processor of a computer, cause the processor to perform the steps of:
- (a) storing the at least one AVD stream;
- and
- (b) storing an event tag in response to a signal indicating the beginning of an event, the event tag having an event stream information data (ESID) structure comprising an ESID entry for each AVD stream of the at least one AVD stream, each ESID entry comprising an offset for locating a corresponding AVD stream chunk of each active AVD stream of the at least one AVD stream.
A computer system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores a plurality of instructions for event tagging of at least one audio, video, or data (AVD) stream, each AVD stream comprising a plurality of AVD stream chunks, wherein:
- (a) the at least one AVD stream is stored;
- and
- (b) an event tag is stored in response to a signal indicating the beginning of an event, the event tag having an event stream information data (ESID) structure comprising an ESID entry for each AVD stream of the at least one AVD stream, each ESID entry comprising an offset for locating a corresponding AVD stream chunk of each active AVD stream of the at least one AVD stream.
