摘要

A multimedia authoring system ( 100 ) includes a user interface ( 250 ) for receiving input from a user. A title generator ( 210 ) is used to generate a multimedia title under control of input of the user. A resource checker ( 220 ) includes a memory ( 240 ) for storing, for a predetermined rendering platform ( 140, 150 ) resource information on maximum capabilities of a plurality of rendering resources of the rendering platform. A resource monitor ( 230 ) in the resource checker receives from the title generator claims/releases on rendering resources by the title being generated. The resource monitor monitors for each of the rendering resources the claims made by the title. It provides an indication to the user if at least one claim on the rendering resources exceeds a maximum capability of a corresponding resource.
