Abstract: A method, a programmed computer system, for example, a network-based hardware device, and a machine readable medium containing a software program for modifying a high definition video data stream in real time, with no visible delays, to add content on a frame by frame basis, thus simultaneously compositing multiple different customized linear views, for purposes such as creating and broadcasting targeted advertising in real time. The method employs conventional video processing technology in novel and inventive ways to achieve the desired objective by passing data selected by the program back and forth between a GPU and a CPU of a computer. The method is also usable with data streams having lower than high definition where real time processing is desired and yields better results than conventional methods. In such applications, all processing may be done by the CPU of a sufficiently powerful general-purpose computer.

Abstract: The disclosed technology is a system and computer-implemented method for assembling and editing a video program from spoken words or soundbites. The disclosed technology imports source audio/video clips and any of multiple formats. Spoken audio is transcribed into searchable text. The text transcript is synchronized to the video track by timecode markers. Each spoken word corresponds to a timecode marker, which in turn corresponds to a video frame or frames. Using word processing operations and text editing functions, a user selects video segments by selecting corresponding transcribed text segments. By selecting text and arranging that text, a corresponding video program is assembled. The selected video segments are assembled on a timeline display in any chosen order by the user. The sequence of video segments may be reordered and edited, as desired, to produce a finished video program for export.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided reducing storage space occupied by a media asset by adjusting quality levels of the media asset downward over time. This may be accomplished by a media guidance application that store, at a given time, the media asset in a first format having a first quality level.
