In this paper, we present our research results towards the development of a large-scale video archival and retrieval system that Yamagata digital content center (YDCC) has been conducting. These include a number of important findings regarding digital content preservation, distribution and production. With an MPEG-7-based video material retrieval application and a content management approach based on the standard proposed by Content ID Forum, we have some verification tests. Our proposed business solutions can be effectively deployed into any archival and retrieval system in the future network community and can be utilized for achieving smooth management of secure content distribution.
