The paper describes a prototype of cataloging and search engine for video library, the Video Library Search Engine (VLSE). We propose the system based on our codification of video data. There are two stages to provide a fast and efficient way to search, view and retrieve video information in the system. The first stage is global query videos according to video title, cast and the type of video such as Classical, Action, Western and so on. The second one is that for each video we can use a video metadata cataloging system to view it and provide various query methods such as query-by-feature, queryby-definition, query-by-keyword and structural-browsing. . Key words: Video cataloging, content- based video access, video segmentation, video retrieval, video indexing.
