Abstract: A method for delivering media content in full motion video to users via the Internet in a collaborative media production process is disclosed. The method includes: receiving encoded, production digital media files and a meta-data file; wherein the meta-data file contains meta-data at least from film, video, television, or commercial production or post-production; parsing the meta-data, wherein the meta-data is read by parsing software; associating the meta-data with the production digital media files; and enabling viewing and collaborative interaction with the production digital media files by a user using the collaborative display interface, wherein the collaborative interaction includes interacting with other users during production and post-production by notating comments that includes inserting a link to a specific digital media file and an actual media clip frame using a production time code.

Abstract: A delivery and display system 10 prepares and delivers daily film rushes and/or film “cuts” (i.e., rough edits) in full motion video to users via the Internet in a collaborative application and display interface. The delivery and display system includes a system server 32, parsing and embedding software 34, an encryption system 36, and a collaborative display interface 70. The system server receives and stores digital media files 50 and AV log files 60. The parsing and embedding software 34 reads meta-data in an AV log file 60 and segments the digital media files 50, wherein the parsing and embedding software is capable of reading meta-data from both .FLX AV log files and .ALE AV log files. The parsing and embedding software 34 embeds meta-data from an AV log file 60 into the segmented digital media files 50. The encryption system 36 secures the digital media files 50, which have been embedded with meta-data from an AV log file 60, using digital rights management encryption.
