Abstract

An editing device accesses a media program and a user of the editing device designates excerpts within the media program. Bookmarks are generated for the designated excerpts. The bookmarks are transmitted via a network from the editing device to a playback device. By reference to the received bookmarks, the playback device presents an edited version of the media program that includes only the designated excerpts.
