ClipTV Idea

ClipTV Idea

Your ReplayTV / TiVo / DVR records and replays TV for future viewing. This is sometimes called Time Shifting.

Have you ever watched TV and something came on that you just had to watch again. Well with your DVR you can now replay and watch it again. Nothing new, DVRs have been around for years now. What if you saw something, replayed it then you wanted to share that short clip with a friend straight from the DVR. I mean the DVR is saving the video on the hard drive.

I'm not talking about recording TV shows and posting them online.

Just a DVR service that could post and/or save clips. Maybe you could comment on the clips and post that too. Right now it takes a lot of work to get stuff from your TV source and to a computer where you could then edit to your hearts delight… but only if you are a super video wiz.

Right now you can find tons of sad workarounds like people pointing their digital cameras at the TV screens and posting a crappy copies of a short clips they just wanted to share. These short clip are perfectly fair use too.

I would have the DVR create beginning and end points on the clip and save to the hard drive and/or give an option to upload to YouTube. To keep from posting whole shows off the TV, I'd limit the clips to something like 10 minutes.

What I really want is a DVR+ Editing. Some kind of hybrid DVR computer using your big screen TV. Then i could clip and save parts of this and that and make my own edits and have fun creating my own creations.

This idea may or may not exist or have been thought of already... I still want a box like this.

My friend Hanford Lemoore would have some interesting stuff to say about this topic. We’re always talking about this stuff. Let’s see if he leaves a comment on my Blog…
