Abstract
A video disk player is provided for playing back a series of still pictures prerecorded on a plurality of video disks. The disks are contained in a magazine that is inserted into the player. The magazine includes an erasable, non-volatile memory for containing data related to the pictures. The player includes an editing feature for generating picture file data prescribing an organized arrangement for viewing the pictures, including data pertaining to the assignment of pictures into one or more albums, the arrangement of the viewing order, the establishment of automated viewing times, the addition of text, and the like. The picture file data is put into the non-volatile magazine memory and remains there though the magazine is removed from the player. To view an album, the magazine is inserted into the player and the magazine memory is connected into the player circuit. An album is chosen by reference to the picture file data.
