ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for processing streaming media by selectively removing a portion of the streaming media data, e.g., for storage and/or delivery over a computer network medium. The amount of data in a media stream itself may be selectively reduced for delivery and/or storage and, in one exemplary embodiment, the amount of data in the media stream may be selected for delivery and/or storage so that it is reduced in a manageable and substantially consistent fashion. In another exemplary embodiment, data within a media stream of a given temporal duration may be selected for delivery and/or storage in such a way that leads to a proportional increase in the maximum speed at which data from the given temporal duration of the media stream may be transmitted and reviewed while simultaneously providing the benefit of reducing overall storage capacity requirements. The disclosed systems and methods may be advantageously implemented with any type of streaming media and video transport technology that employs media streams that comprise multiple frames including, but not limited to, any type of streaming media that employs video compression technology.
