A plasma movie is generally expected as one of the most efficient methods to know what plasma discharge has been conducted in the experiment. On this motivation we have developed and operated a real-time plasma shape visualization system over ten years. The current plasma movie is composed of (1) video camera picture looking at a plasma, (2) computer graphic (CG) picture, and (3) magnetic probe signal as a sound channel. In order to use this movie efficiently, we have developed a new plasma movie database system, where a plasma movie is available (downloadable) for experiment data analyses at the Web-site. This new system and its future prospects will be discussed in detals from a technological point of view.
