A device for recording videos includes an image signal processor to process frames captured in response to a request for recording a video at a first frame rate, and a video encoder to encode captured frames. The device also includes processing circuitry operative to allocate image buffers from memory in response to the request, and execute a camera software to direct the image signal processor to fill each image buffer with a batch of the captured frames. For each filled image buffer, a reference of the image buffer is passed from the camera software to a video software at a second rate, which is a fraction of the first frame rate. The processing circuitry then executes the video software to provide one frame at a time to the video encoder for encoding at the first frame rate.

A digital information recording apparatus includes a recording circuit for recording information of a retention period included in the digital information and indicating a period for permitting the digital information to be held in the recording medium, starting with a time at which the digital information is recorded on the recording medium; and information of a playback permission period included in the digital information and indicating a period for permitting the digital information to be played back starting with a time at which the information is reproduced initially following recording of the digital information on the recording medium, permitting temporary recording or copying for the information permitted for copy never or copy one generation.

There is provided a reproduction apparatus, a reproduction method, a program, and a recording medium that can prevent an unnatural change in luminance in a case where other information is displayed by being superimposed on a video. A reproduction apparatus according to an aspect of the present technology receives a video stream to which dynamic metadata including luminance information of a picture has been added, and in a case where predetermined information is superimposed and displayed on the picture, adds metadata indicated by a flag indicating the metadata used for luminance adjustment while the predetermined information is superimposed and displayed to the picture constituting the received video stream, and outputs the picture to which the metadata has been added to a display apparatus. The present technology can be applied to a Blu-ray (registered trademark) Disc player.

There are provided methods and systems for media processing, comprising: providing a plurality of media asset sources, via a network to a user device; processing said plurality of media asset sources, wherein said processing comprises selecting at least one image asset at each of said media asset sources and detecting features at the selected image asset sources along the media asset sources frames; receiving via the network from the user device a media recording; processing said user media recording, wherein said processing comprises selecting at least one element in the media recording and applying the detected features on the at least one element; mixing the processed media assets with the processed media recording according to input data to yield one or multiple variations of mixed media assets.

A network editor comprises a central location with stored videos such as movies that can be edited by editors at remote locations. An editor receives a representation of a video and specifies edits relative to the representation, enabling the editor to use a device lacking sufficient processing capability to edit the video directly, and also reducing the volume of information transmitted between the central location and the remote editor. The central location is able to provide the edited movie in a format suitable to the display capabilities of the viewing device of the viewer requesting the edited video.

A video player includes the user interface comprising: a video display; a texture strip visually representing a series of frames of a video, the texture strip comprising a sequence of textured frame representations, each textured frame representation in sequence of textured frame representations representing a corresponding frame from a series of frames; a control to allow a user to use the texture strip to seek frames in the series of frames in a random manner. An input is received via the control, the input including an indication of a selection of a location in the texture strip, the location in the texture strip having a corresponding temporal location in the series of frames. Based on the input, a frame selected from the series of frames is displayed in the video display, the selected frame located at the corresponding temporal location in the series of frames.

System, apparatus, method, and computer readable media for on-the-fly captured video summarization. A video stream is incrementally summarized in concurrence with generation of the stream by a camera module. Saliency of the video stream summary is maintained as the stream evolves by updating the summary to include only the most significant frames. In one exemplary embodiment, saliency is determined by optimizing an objective function including terms that are indicative of both the diversity of a selection, and how representative the selection is to the processed portion of the video data corpus. A device platform including a CM and comporting with the exemplary architecture may provide video camera functionality at ultra-low power, and/or with ultra-low storage resources, and/or with ultra-low communication channel bandwidth.

There is provided a reproduction apparatus, a reproduction method, a program, and a recording medium that make it possible to stabilize display upon starting of reproduction of an HDR video stream. The reproduction apparatus according to one aspect of the present technology decodes, in a case where a first content including a first HDR video stream to which dynamic metadata including luminance information of a unit of a video frame is added and a second content including a second HDR video stream to which the dynamic metadata is not added and with which static metadata including luminance information of a unit of a content is associated are included in reproducible contents and the second content is to be reproduced, the second HDR video stream, and adds the dynamic metadata to video data obtained by the decoding and outputs resulting data to a display apparatus. The present technology can be applied to a Blu-ray Disc player.

A system and method allows a user to enter a command capture audio, video, and/or still pictures that commence at a moment in time earlier than entering the command.

A recording medium includes a video stream of a standard-luminance range and a video stream of high-luminance range, which are used selectively in accordance with a playback environment. The recording medium also includes a subtitle stream of the standard-luminance range and a subtitle stream of the high-luminance range, which are used selectively in accordance with the playback environment. A playlist file includes a management region where playback control information relating to a main stream is stored, and includes an extended region. The management region stores first playback control information specifying playing of the video stream of the high-luminance range and the subtitle stream of the high-luminance range in combination. The extended region stores second playback control information specifying playing of the video stream of the standard-luminance range and the subtitle stream of the standard-luminance range in combination.
