Abstract: |
Preferred implementations of the invention permit a user to seamlessly switch from a first media stream to a second media stream in a synchronized way, such that the second media stream picks up where the first media stream left off. In this way, the user experiences events chronologically but without interruption. In a preferred implementation, a user watching a skim video switches to a full length video when, for example, the skim video reaches a frame that is of particular interest to the user. The full length video begins at a point corresponding to the frame in the skim video that is of interest to the user, without skipping over video segments, so that the user does not experience any time gaps in the story line.

1. A method of browsing, comprising: accessing a first media stream; allowing the first media stream to play up to some point in the first media stream; and switching media streams by selecting a second media stream different from the first media stream, said selecting thereby starting the second media stream at a point corresponding to said point in the first media stream, wherein content in the first media stream is time compressed with respect to content in the second media stream, to reduce the time a user spends searching for media content of interest to the user.
