Abstract

A method and apparatus (100) for rental of the digital video online providing access to an online catalog stored within a memory of a network video server computer (130A-130N). Requests are received from client computers (102A-102N) for rental of digital video signals selected from the online catalog for a specified period of time. Once electronic payment from client is provided, the digital video signal is transmitted to the client computer via communications link (120). The digital video signal is viewable by a user of the client computer during the specified period of time.
