- 19. The method of claim 18 wherein said summarization includes a plurality of said first segments, a plurality of corresponding said second segments, a plurality of corresponding said third segments, and a set of segments in the following order, (1) a first one of said third segments, (2) a first one of said second segments corresponding with said first one of said first segments, (3) a first one of said first segments, (4) a second one of said third segments, (5) a second one of said second segments corresponding with said second one of said first segments; (6) a second one of said first segments, (7) a third one of said third segments, (8) a third one of said second segments corresponding with said third one of said first segments, (9) a third one of said first segments.
- 20. The method of claim 19 wherein additional portions of said video exist between a corresponding two of at least one of said first and second segments of said set, and between a corresponding two of at least one of said third and first segments.
- 21. The method of claim 19 wherein a third segment is at least 25% of the duration of at least one of the corresponding first and second segments.
