Abstract: A video and video fragment management and distribution system utilizes a server and a user interface. The server stores a series of videos in the form of video fragments. Each video fragment has associated therewith a host of video fragment data stored in a manner enabling an end user viewer to easily and efficiently perform a Boolean type search, based on desirable video fragment characteristics defined by the data, in order to return a desired set of video fragments. The system provides the viewer with a variety of search criteria options, each having a plurality of identifiers for locating a desirable video fragment. Each search criteria identifier can be set as inclusive or exclusive. The system includes a rating feature allowing the user to submit a rating and view an average of submitted ratings. The viewer creates a playlist or series of playlists for viewing a continuous, user defined series of video fragments.
