Abstract
A system for generating a structured file that includes all of the various media items need to play the corresponding media presentation is described. (Media items include, for example, images, movies, and audio files.) In one implementation, all of the various media items needed to support the presentation's playback may be collected, where after at least one of them is texturized. Texturing means converting a media item from a larger format to a smaller format. For example, a JPEG file (described in terms of scalable vector-based data) may be texturized to a PNG file (described in terms of pixel data). The items may then be organized in accordance with an event, and stored in a structured file. Once organized by event (e.g., presentation pause-points, frame transitions, effect transitions, input 'click' and the like), the media items may be stored into the structured file, ready to playback the media presentation.
