APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR ENCODING DATA FOR VIDEO COMPOSITING

摘要

A storage medium (100), such, as a digital versatile disc (DVD) (100), that includes both, a media portion (102) and a data portion (104). The media portion (102) comprises, for example, one or more scenes from a movie, a television program or the like. In certain embodiments, the media portion (102) includes a full-length movie. The data portion (104) includes reference information, such as a data file, usable by a compositing device (302) to selectively insert a real-time image into a video scene stored on the media portion (102). For example, the data file may contain a plurality of trigger points that provides for the display (308), at appropriate times, of a real-time composite image instead of the prerecorded video scene.
