A system for computer-assisted processing of media by an end-user is disclos ed. The system preferably includes a relational database management system (RDBMS) containing media content. The RDBMS structure allo ws users to effectively search an extensive database and identify desired content. At the same time, the adaptive designation of "in-frame" and "out-frame" pointers allows users to effi ciently view, modify, annotate, store, and/or distribute to other users only the spe cific segments of content that are of interest. This hig hly desirable combination of features reflects the untraditional, open architecture of the system disclosed in accordance with the present inventi on.
