20090041428 | RECORDING AUDIO METADATA FOR CAPTURED IMAGES - A method of recording audio metadata during image capture: includes providing an image capture device for capturing still or video digitized images of a scene and for recording audio signals; recording the audio signals continuously in a buffer while the device is in power on mode; and initiating the capture of a still image or of a video image by the image capture device, and storing as metadata, audio signals produced for a time prior to, during, and after the termination of the capture of the still or video images. | 02-12-2009 |
20090087165 | RECORDING AND PLAYBACK APPARATUS AND METHOD, PROGRAM STORAGE MEDIUM, AND PROGRAM - A recording and playback apparatus and method, a program storage medium and a program by which AV signals of a program being recorded can be converted into AV signals of another format are disclosed. First, it is discriminated whether or not a recording process is started. If it is discriminated that a recording process is started, then coded data being currently recorded are read out and converted into coded data of another format. Thereafter, the coded data obtained by the format conversion are recorded onto a hard disk. | 04-02-2009 |
20090103897 | METHOD FOR SYNCHRONZING AUDIO AND VIDEO DATA IN AVI FILE - A method for synchronizing audio and video data in an Audio Video Interleave (AVI) file, the AVI file containing a plurality of audio and video chunks, includes: determining a frame rate error of a group of consecutive main access units (GMAU) according to a video clock and an audio clock; determining a GMAU presentation time stamp (PTS) according to the frame rate error; and updating the AVI file with the GMAU PTS, so the GMAU will be played utilizing the GMAU PTS. | 04-23-2009 |
20090202226 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONVERTING ELECTRONIC TEXT TO A DIGITAL MULTIMEDIA ELECTRONIC BOOK - A system and method for converting an existing digital source document into a speech-enabled output document and synchronized highlighting of spoken text with the minimum of interaction from a publisher. A mark-up application is provided to correct reading errors that may be found in the source document. An exporter application can be provided to convert the source document and corrections from the mark-up application to an output format. A viewer application can be provided to view the output and to allow user interactions with the output. | 08-13-2009 |
20090279869 | RECORDING MEDIUM, RECORDING DEVICE, RECORDING METHOD, AND PLAYBACK DEVICE - A recording medium having recorded thereon one or more pieces of playlist information each of which includes a stream table including multiple stream entries. Each audio stream has been encoded in one of a mandatory format that is an encoding format decodable by a playback apparatus with any version number, and an optional format that is an encoding format decodable by a playback apparatus with a predetermined or higher version number. In a first-type stream table, a stream entry corresponding to an audio stream encoded in the optional format is immediately subsequent, in the order of the stream entries, to a stream entry corresponding to an audio stream encoded in the mandatory format, the audio stream encoded in the optional format and the audio stream encoded in the mandatory format having been encoded from a same audio source and having a same language code and a same number of channels. | 11-12-2009 |
20100080537 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SYNCHRONIZING DIGITAL SOUND WITH IMAGES ON CINEMATOGRAPHIC FILM - Device and method for synchronizing digital sound with images on cinematographic film. The sound is represented by sound data and the images are represented by image data. The device comprises a sampling device for sampling a stream of sound data, a memory device for storing the sampled sound data, and a transmitting device for transmitting the sampled sound data in synchronization with transmitting the image data. | 04-01-2010 |
20100092156 | RECORDING MEDIUM, PLAYBACK APPARATUS, METHOD AND PROGRAM - A plurality of video streams and STN_table are recorded in the local storage | 04-15-2010 |
20100092157 | Moving image recording method and information processing device - A video information item obtained by photographing and an audio information item obtained by recording are digitized to obtain a digitized video data item and a digitized audio data item each accompanied by a time information item, respectively. The digitized video data item is stored in such a manner as to be separated into the time information item and the digitized video data item. The digitized audio data item is stored in such a manner as to be separated into the time information item and the digitized audio data item. The separately-stored time information item and the digitized video data item and the separately-stored time information item and the digitized audio data item are combined in synchronization with each other. The combined time information items, the digitized video data item, and the digitized audio data item are stored in a predetermined format. | 04-15-2010 |

20080226261 | RECORDING APPARATUS AND METHOD, PLAYBACK APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM THEREFOR - Audio signals and video signals are recorded as follows. Three video PES packets, each being formed of one video frame, are combined to form a video editing unit. Then, the video editing unit and the associated audio editing unit are alternately disposed on a magnetic tape. The recorded PES packets are output as a TS as follows. A STC is initialized, and then, PSI packets of a PAT and a PMT are output. TS packets specially used for a PCR for storing the STC are then output at certain intervals. Subsequently, video PES packets are converted into TSs, and the output of the video TSs is started while synchronizing a time obtained by subtracting vbv_delay from the first I-picture DTS with the STC. Audio PES packets are converted into TSs, and the output of the audio TSs is started while synchronizing a time obtained by subtracting the start up delay from the first frame with the STC. Data streams are recorded in the following manner. The three MSBs of a sync block (SB) header indicate the type of data to be recorded in the following data area. If the data type is PES-VIDEO or PES-AUDIO, a full/partial flag is recorded in the fourth MSB of the SB header. In the subsequent four LSBs, the continuity count value representing the continuity of the same type of SBs is recorded. | 09-18-2008 |
20090269037 | AUDIOVISUAL (AV) DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - According to one embodiment, video image and voice signals are transmitted to a plurality of electronic devices each having at least one of a video image display function and a voice reproducing function. Information indicating the fact that at least one of a video image and a voice has been set in a mute state is acquired from each of the electronic devices. Based on the information, a processing operation is applied to the video image and voice signals supplied to each of the electronic devices. | 10-29-2009 |
