Patent ID: 8818176

Claim:
A method comprising: receiving, from a user, a user-specified temporal location in video content, wherein the user-specified temporal location is not within an intra-coded frame that contains sufficient information to display an image without requiring information from other frames; analyzing, via a processor, the video content to identify a nearest intra-coded frame relative to the user-specified temporal location in the video content by comparing a first intra-coded frame before the user-specified temporal location and a second intra-coded frame after the user-specified temporal location and selecting the nearest intra-coded frame between the first intra-coded frame and the second intra-coded frame; and tagging the video content by performing one of: (1) moving the nearest intra-coded frame to the user-specified temporal location in the video content and associating a tag with the nearest intra-coded frame; (2) inserting a new intra-coded frame at the user-specified temporal location of the video content and associating the tag with the new intra-coded frame; and (3) associating the tag with the nearest intra-coded frame.
