receiving, by a digital video player, a digital video;
detecting, by the digital video player, a defect in the digital video; and
storing, by the digital video player, a segment of the digital video that contains the defect.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising automatically detecting, by the digital video player, the defect.
3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, by the digital video player, a detect defect command; and
detecting, by the digital video player, the defect when it receives the detect command.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing, by digital video player, the video segment in a specified location.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, by the digital video player, the segment for analysis.
6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising transmitting, by the digital video player, the segment when it receives a transmit command.
7 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
receiving, by the digital video player, a request defect command; and
sending, by the digital video player, the segment when it receives the request detect command.
8 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising automatically sending, by the digital video player, the segment.
9 . A system for storing a video segment for analysis, the system comprising:
a digital video player, comprising a receiver, a decoder coupled to the receiver, and a memory coupled to the decoder, the digital video player configured to:
receive by the receiver a video divided into segments;
detect by the decoder a defect in a video segment; and
store by the memory the video segment containing the defect.
10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the decoder is configured to automatically detect the defect.
11 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the decoder is configured to detect the defect when it receives a detect command from the receiver.
12 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the memory digital video player is configured to store the video segment in a specified location of the memory.
