Video program authoring systems and methods in a processor-based system removes an author from consideration of low-level configuration functions during authoring. The authoring systems and methods provide an authoring engine having an interactive graphical authoring interface, a data management engine, an emulator, a compiler, a multiplexer and a simulator. Using summary authoring data, the compiler builds a skeleton-form layout structure comprising abstracted components that include movie chapters, menu buttons and command segments. The compiler then resolves abstracted connections between combinations of the abstracted components to produce a video program. Instructions associated with the command segments and a configuration of the command segments within a video program video space and domain structure are abstracted.
