Abstract: A method is disclosed to capture and manipulate digital video images, and to display one or more of the images on a client system as a video stream, without the need for the client to use plug-in or other media player software. In an exemplary embodiment, the method includes capturing digital video images of a rotating object, relaying the digital data to a computer programmed to allow direct access to audio and video streams from the digital camera, without the need for intermediary programs. Subsequently, the digital video data is parsed to select images which are edited, processed and configured to be distributed for viewing as a video sequence within a browser window, without the need for a media player.
