[0023] Overview

[0024] A media timeline processing infrastructure is described. The media timeline provides the user with a media-defined presentation based on the media, such as existing media (e.g., stored media such as videos, songs, documents, etc.) and / or "real-time" output from media sources such as streaming audio and / or video Technology. The Media Timeline can be used to express groupings and / or combinations of media and provide compositional metadata used by the Media Timeline processing infrastructure that executes (e.g., renders) the media referenced by the Media Timeline to provide the final presented.

[0025] Different multimedia applications may have different media timeline object models for handling media collections. For example, a media player can use playlists to play media in order. On the other hand, an editing application can edit a presentation of the media using a media timeline configured as a storyboard. Another application can use an event-ba...

Abstract

A media timeline processing infrastructure is described. In an implementation, one or more computer readable media include computer executable instructs that, when executed, provide an infrastructure having an application programming interface that is configured to accept a plurality of segments from an application for sequential rendering. Each of the segments reference at least one media item for rendering by the infrastructure and each segment is taken from a media timeline by an application.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to media, and more particularly to a media timeline processing infrastructure. Background technique [0002] Users of computers, such as desktop PCs, set-top boxes, personal digital assistants (PDAs), etc., have access to an ever-increasing amount of media from an ever-increasing variety of sources. For example, a user may interact with a desktop PC executing multiple applications to provide media for output such as home videos, songs, slide presentations, and the like. Users can also utilize the set-top box to receive traditional television programming that is broadcast to the set-top box via the broadcast network. Additionally, the set-top box can be configured as a personal video recorder (PVR), whereby a user can store broadcast content in memory on the set-top box for later playback. In addition, a user can interact with a wireless phone that executes a number of applications that allow the user to read an...
