Abstract: A video information recorder receives video information including multiple scenes, and associates an automatic start marker with at least one of the scenes in response to receiving user-provided begin scene information. According to one embodiment, during playback the video information recorder stops recording in response to receiving the user provided begin scene information and resumes recording in response to receiving the user provided end scene information. According to an alternative embodiment, during playback the video information recorder skips, erases or overwrites the video information between the start and stop markers. The video information recorder also associates an automatic stop marker with at least one of the scenes without user intervention in response to receiving user-provided end scene information. The video information recorder may be a set top box, a digital or analog video recorder, a computer suitable for recording the video information, or any other device suitable for recording video information. The video information recorder includes a memory marker generator and memory. The video information recorder may be part of a host processor, a co-processor, such as a graphics co-processor, or any suitable device for marking the plurality of scenes as described above.

Abstract translation: 视频信息记录器接收包括多个场景的视频信息，并且响应于接收到用户提供的开始场景信息而将自动开始标记与至少一个场景相关联。 根据一个实施例，在播放期间，视频信息记录器响应于接收到用户提供的开始场景信息而停止记录，并响应于接收到用户提供的结束场景信息而重新开始记录。 根据替代实施例，在重放期间，视频信息记录器在开始和停止标记之间跳过，擦除或覆盖视频信息。 响应于接收用户提供的结束场景信息，视频信息记录器还将自动停止标记与至少一个场景相关联，而无需用户干预。 视频信息记录器可以是机顶盒，数字或模拟视频记录器，适用于记录视频信息的计算机，或适于记录视频信息的任何其它设备。 视频信息记录器包括存储器标记产生器和存储器。 视频信息记录器可以是主处理器，协处理器（诸如图形协处理器）或用于标记如上所述的多个场景的任何合适的设备的一部分。
