Must be earlier stuff around. If my foggy memory is right, most if not all of
this patent could be done in Windows 3.1. But one of the big seminal events was
the advent of Telstar. That received, recorded and streamed media from all
around the globe.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

There's certainly earlier stuff around - the MSX series 2 range included various
machines which would handle video etc and some of those I suspect predate much
of the patent. Then there is the Amiga 'Toasters' used for video effects etc.

This could be the basis for his "interchangeable" argument. He wants
his patent to be valid because it would not run on the hardware that TiVo has...[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I am not familiar with the detail of the patent, but if I were to be researching
prior art for video to hard disk, I would start with the comercial sector
equipment used for mastering VCD (circa 1993) and DVD's (circa 1995). F or
exampke a company called <a
href="http://www.ffv.com/products/standard-definition/digideck/">Fa
st Forward Video</a> have been providing equipment such as the digidec to
industry for about 20 years according to their web site. You can bet that with
such equipment being devloped, recording video onto hard disk was increasingly
common place in film/tv and research labs in the early 1990's. I can see why any
patent issued for recording video on computer hard disk from 2000 onwards would
need to be defended against prior art, it certainly does not appear to be
particularly new and innovative.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
