A content recognition system for indexing occurrences of objects within an audio/video content data stream processes the stream of data to generate a content index database corresponding to the content stream. The content stream is processed by applying recognition technology to the content within the content stream to identify and index occurrences of identified objects. Preferably, the content stream is processed as the content stream is stored within a media storage device. Alternatively, the content stream is processed after the content stream is stored within the media storage device. The objects that are included within the index database, are either identified by the user before processing or are identified dynamically by the recognition technology during processing. As the content stream is processed, entries preferably including an object identifier and corresponding locations of that object, are generated within the index database. The content index database can then be used to quickly locate and navigate to specific occurrences of content and objects within the content stream.
