Abstract

This paper proposes an audio/video (A/V) toolkit which can assist programmers to develop continuous media (CM) applications. A deliberate A/V file format and a set of programming interfaces which are beneficial to random retrieval, film editing and A/V synchronization are proposed as the kernel of the toolkit. Based on the presented A/V toolkit, some practical CM applications such as A/V Player, A/V EFXer, and A/V Browser, have been developed in the Communication and Multimedia Laboratory of National Taiwan University. These CM applications are easy to integrate as complicated multimedia systems
