Abstract
A digital audio/video archive and distribution system (10) and method utilize a signal capture and compression encoding subsystem (12) to translate an analog signal from at least one media source (14) into at least one digital signal segment. The digital signal segment is automatically correlated with identifying information (18) input via an Internet connection, and both are stored in a searchable database subsystem (24). Upon a user request (28) received via an Internet connection, or programming prompt, a graphical user interface (GUI), such as a web-based user interface, is created to distribute one or more of the stored digital signal segments.
