The present invention relates to improvements in the storage and searchability of DVDs' content and metadata. It presents an authoring process to simulate interactivity on limited-function playback devices, such as conventional DVD players. This is achieved by simulating content access functions, such as sorting, scrolling, paging, grouping, describing content, etc., on a device where these functions are lacking. Further, it has the ability to create simulated functions in multiple languages or multiple representations that can be selected by the user or determined automatically by the implementing software. This is achieved by pre-processing and pre-creating the menus and other elements to make it look like a DVD player is sorting, grouping, etc., although all it is really doing is jumping from menu to menu.
A method of forming content for an interactive medium, comprising:
An electronic data file, on a storage medium, that when transferred into an appropriately configured digital apparatus causes the apparatus to operate in accordance with a process for forming an interactive media content, the process comprising:
An interactive medium, the content of which includes a media image comprising:
A system comprising:
