With the fast advances of integration of telecommunications networks, cable TV networks and the internet. TV video programs can be regarded as a special kind of internet information. This paper analyzes the users' requirements to the digital video recorder and proposes a three level framework for the Intelligent Video Recorder (IVR) based on the widely researched semantic video analysis and understanding technology. It provides intelligent playing, recording and browsing functions to the users which can help them personally record and deal with the TV programs. In addition, we explain how to achieve these functions via an implementation on sports videos. The IVR proposed in this paper can not only save the users' time but also provide them with various perspectives to videos in order to satisfy their personal requirements. IVR framework proposed in this paper gives a prototype of the future recorder design and the evaluations on sports videos demonstrate the rationality of this scheme.
