Abstract
A system for web-based video browsing includes a web server and a web client. The web server and the web client cooperatively provide a set of video browsing functions. The video browsing functions enable a user of the web client to browse a source video and select a video frame from the source video. The distribution of the video browsing functions between the web server and the web client may be adapted to a communication speed between the web server and the web client.
