Abstract

A method and system for display of a video file are provided in which multiple time segments of the video file are displayed simultaneously to enable small changes to be identified in less time than viewing the entire file in a single playback. The method includes dividing a first portion of a video file into multiple segments each of a same time duration and sending each of the multiple segments of the first portion of the video file to be played simultaneously in multiple windows of a display device. The method then includes dividing a second portion of a video file starting at the end of the first portion, into multiple segments each of a same time duration and sending each of the multiple segments of the second portion of the video file to be played simultaneously in multiple windows of the display device. The method is repeated for subsequent portions until the entire video file has been played.
