Patent ID: 8218941

Claim:
A method to record one or more encoded video files on a recording media, comprising: receiving an encoded video stream with a video capture module; analyzing at least one key video frame of the encoded video stream to detect meaningful video images; skipping any storing in a storage module of a sequence of video frames of the encoded video stream if at least one meaningful video image is not detected in the at least one key video frame of the encoded video stream; storing the encoded video stream in the storage module, wherein the encoded video stream is organized as one or more encoded video files; storing a file name and file information of the one or more encoded video files in a file info module; providing the file name and file information to a file reader module that reads the encoded video stream from the file and sends the encoded video stream to a burner software module that operates a media burner module; controlling the file reader module with a data tracker module, wherein the data tracker module controls one or more operations of the file reader module; and updating the file info module as the one or more encoded video files are successfully recorded on a recording media by the media burner module.
