Method and apparatus for editing a video and/or audio program

摘要

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for editing an audio/video program. The method comprises the steps of acquiring the description information of two program segments of the program, the program segments being in sequence in playing order, the description information comprising the ending description information of the previous program segment and the start point information of the subsequent program segment, generating a guiding information to guide the ending point information to the start point information according to the description information and playing order of the program segments and updating the description information of the program according to the guiding information. With this invention, excessively detailed application editing work and an expense of high buffering cost may be avoided in editing compact disc program.

主权项

1. Apparatus for editing an audio/video program, comprising:
an editing processor comprising hardware and configured to edit an audio/video program into a first program segment and a second program segment, the second program segment being subsequent to and non-contiguous with the first program segment, wherein the first program segment and the second program segment each have a start point and an ending point; an acquiring processor comprising hardware and configured to acquire information related to the ending point of the first program segment and information related to the start point of the second program segment; a generating processor comprising hardware and configured to generate guiding information for playing from the ending point of the first program segment to the start point of the second program segment, the guiding information representing a bridge between the non-contiguous first and second program segments; and an updating processor comprising hardware and configured to:
update a descriptive information associated with the audio/video program with the generated guiding information; andprovide an indication that the descriptive information was updated; and wherein the updated descriptive information represents a sequential connection relationship between the respective first and second program segments.
