Apparatus, data structure, and method for media file organization

Abstract

This invention augments media files, using an apparatus that reads instructions within media files to control methods for processing meta data and media data and inputting data from a human user, and outputting transformed data. Some embodiments include a data structure having a plurality of media instructions stored within an ISO media file, that, when executed, functionally transform video information on the media file, based on input information elicited and received from a human user and on the data structure, to an output signal that includes video modified by the input information and the data in the structure. In some embodiments, a method reads media file, eliciting and receiving input information from a human user; and functionally transforming the media file audio-video data based on the input information received from the user and control data in the data structure(s) into modified outputs as controlled by the instructions.
