I don't know if they do it that way anymore, but a few years ago I was described how instant replay worked in sports games. Basically, the play ends, and immediately several technicians begin rewinding the various video streams so they are ready for replay. I always thought that was so inefficient and annoying, and wondered why no one had built a system that could detect when the play actually started, so it could be automatic. Well, Microsoft's latest patent application says they have done something similar, only theirs is also forward-looking. Nathan Weinberg writes the popular InsideGoogle blog.
