Abstract
A method of generating a multimedia disc. The method includes the steps of: accessing a plurality of digital still images; generating a single MPEG bitstream comprising at least one of the plurality of digital still images; accessing the at least one of the plurality of digital still images; creating a description file defining a file structure comprising the MPEG bitstream and the at least one of the plurality of digital still images; interpreting the description file to generate a disc image of the multimedia disc; and generating the multimedia disc using the disc image.
Claims31
A method of generating a multimedia disc, comprising the steps of:
- accessing a plurality of digital still images;
- generating a single MPEG bitstream comprising at least one of the plurality of digital still images;
- accessing the at least one of the plurality of digital still images;
- creating a description file defining a file structure comprising the MPEG bitstream and the at least one of the plurality of digital still images;
- interpreting the description file to generate a disc image of the multimedia disc;
- and
- generating the multimedia disc using the disc image.
A method of generating a multimedia disc, comprising the steps of:
- accessing a plurality of digital still images;
- generating a single MPEG bitstream comprising at least one of the plurality of digital still images;
- accessing the at least one of the plurality of digital still images;
- formatting the at least one of the plurality of digital still images as a JPEG image in accordance with an image processing and rendering software application;
- creating a description file defining a file structure comprising the image processing and rendering software application, the MPEG bitstream, and the JPEG image;
- interpreting the description file to generate a disc image of the multimedia disc;
- and
- generating the multimedia disc using the disc image.
A method of generating a multimedia disc, comprising the steps of:
- accessing a plurality of digital still images;
- generating a first MPEG bitstream comprising a first one of the plurality of digital still images;
- associating a first image location with the first MPEG bitstream;
- generating a second MPEG bitstream comprising a second one of the plurality of digital still images;
- associating a second image location with the second MPEG bitstream;
- providing a selection means for a user to select an albuming option;
- accessing the first image location associated with the first MPEG bitstream to access the first one of the plurality of digital still images;
- accessing the second image location associated with the second MPEG bitstream to access the second one of the plurality of digital still images;
- formatting the first one and the second one of the plurality of digital still images in accordance with an image processing and rendering software application to create a first and second JPEG image, respectively;
- creating a description file defining a file structure comprising the first and second MPEG bitstreams, the first and second JPEG images, and the image processing and rendering software application;
- interpreting the description file to generate a disc image of the multimedia disc;
- and
- generating the multimedia disc using the disc image.
