Abstract
Methods, systems, and products insert markers into recorded media modules. A pair of reference points is received that marks a position and another position in a recorded media module. A copy of the recorded media module is retrieved from memory. Portions of the copy of the recorded media module occurring before the position, and occurring after the another position, are discarded. The copy of the recorded media module occurring between the position and the another position is then presented to a user.

A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a second device, a pair of reference points, generated by a first device, that mark a position and another position in a recorded media module;
- retrieving, from memory of the second device, a copy of the recorded media module;
- inserting the pair of reference points in the copy of the recorded media module;
- discarding, by the second device, a portion of the copy of the recorded media module occurring before the position;
- discarding, by the second device, another portion of the copy of the recorded media module occurring after the another position;
- and
- presenting, by the second device, the copy of the recorded media module occurring between the position and the another position.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer readable medium storing instructions that when executed cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving a pair of reference points that mark a position and another position in a recorded media module;
- retrieving a copy of the recorded media module from memory;
- inserting the pair of reference points in the copy of the recorded media module;
- discarding a portion of the copy of the recorded media module occurring before the position;
- discarding another portion of the copy of the recorded media module occurring after the another position;
- and
- presenting the copy of the recorded media module occurring between the position and the another position.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving a pair of reference points that mark a position and another position in a recorded media module;
- retrieving a copy of the recorded media module from memory;
- inserting the pair of reference points in the copy of the recorded media module;
- discarding a portion of the copy of the recorded media module occurring before the position;
- discarding another portion of the copy of the recorded media module occurring after the another position;
- and
- presenting the copy of the recorded media module occurring between the position and the another position.
