A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for storing metadata for a file in a distributed storage system is presented. Metadata for a file is generated. A subset of metadata clusters in a distributed storage system is identified to form a quorum of metadata clusters. Requests to store the metadata for the file on the metadata clusters in the distributed storage system are issued, where the requests include high priority requests to store the metadata for the file on at least one of the metadata clusters in the quorum of metadata clusters and normal priority requests to store the metadata in the remaining metadata clusters, the metadata being stored on the at least one of the metadata clusters in the quorum of metadata clusters before being stored on the remaining metadata clusters.

System and method for storing metadata for a file in a distributed storage system

A method for enabling visual browsing of a plurality videos includes identifying a low frame rate version for each video from a plurality of videos using one or more computers, wherein the low frame rate version of each video from the plurality of videos is at a frame rate that provides a visually perceptible pause between successive visually distinct frames; and outputting information that defines a visual display, wherein the visual display presents a plurality of graphical representations each corresponding to a respective video from the plurality of videos, wherein each graphical representation from the plurality of graphical representations includes the low frame rate version of the respective video from the plurality of videos.

Visually browsing videos

A system for providing video processing feedback to content providers uploading a video file. As the content provider uploads a video file to the video processing server, the server processes the uploading file and extracts representative video frames from the video file. The video processing server embeds the representative frames into a processing feedback page hosted on a web server in the video processing server. Each representative frame in the feedback page represents a part of the uploading video. The feedback page is accessible through the content provider's browser and the feedback page includes a sequence of representative frames in temporal order. In one embodiment, the representative frames in the feedback page are colored or shaded to indicate whether the video part represented by a particular frame has been processed.
