The invention indexes an audiovisual recording to enable navigation within
the audiovisual recording. In particular, the invention provides indexing
within a "show" of a recording of an audiovisual broadcast (e.g., a
television broadcast or a radio/satellite audio broadcast) that enables
navigation within the show, in contrast to indexing among shows (i.e.,
identification of locations corresponding to the start and/or end of
shows) that can enable navigation between shows. The invention also
enables navigation among one or more intelligently selected segments of
the recording in a non-linear manner. A graphical user interface can be
implemented to effect navigation in accordance with the invention of a
recording of audiovisual content.
