According to http://www.dvdrecorderworld.com/news/181
"Key inventions claimed in the patent include methods for: the efficient
and low-cost processing and synchronizing of various multimedia streams
in a television signal; a storage format that easily supports advanced
TrickPlay capabilities (i.e., pausing live TV, fast-forwarding,
rewinding, instant replays, and slow motion); automatically determining
the start and end times of a program; creating custom video sequences;
and transferring programs to a VCR or DVD recorder."
I wonder if the patent includes having humans sitting in front of a
screen to watch moving pictures... :oP
Thanks
