Abstract

An apparatus, such as a DVD player, system (client-server, etc.) and method for creating and deploying recommended filter arrangements for a multimedia presentation, such as a movie set forth on a DVD type optical disc. The recommended filter arrangements are selected from some number of possible filter arrangements for a particular multimedia presentation. The recommended filters settings are stored in the memory of the DVD player, in one particular example. During play of the multimedia presentation, the recommended filters are assessed and appropriate filtering action is taken, such as skipping, muting, cropping, blurring, and beeping, certain portions of the multimedia with content involving violence, sex and nudity, profanity, as well as other forms of content objectionable to some audiences.
