The invention provides a method and
system for categorizing a video aiming at the problems that the efficiency is low, the cost is high, and the preview observation accuracy can not be adjusted in the existing method for manually categorizing the video. The method comprises the following steps: 1, loading the video, acquiring the
running time and the format information of the video and determining the length of a
timer shaft; 2, determining an existing observation position of the video, decoding and displaying an adjacent frame neighboring the existing observation position, and updating the adjacent frame when the existing observation position of the video is changed; and 3, determining an initial preview display scale, decoding and displaying a preview frame, and updating the preview frame when the preview display scale or the existing observation position is changed. A
categorization operator uses the method and
system provided by the invention to browse the preview frame of the video in advance without watching the video completely; and then the adjacent frame is observed after preliminary positioning is carried out, thus the
categorization positioning is more accurate, the
categorization efficiency is improved, the labor intensity of categorization work is reduced, and a user can be preferably helped to process and use video resources in time.
