ENHANCED ENCODER FOR SYNCHRONIZING MULTIMEDIA FILES INTO AN AUDIO BIT STREAM

摘要

In one embodiment of the present invention a user interface for synchronizing multimedia files into an audio bit stream is provided. The interface includes the ability to retrieve an audio file having at least a voice recording and retrieve multimedia files. When the multimedia file includes lyrical data that corresponds to the voice recording on the audio file, the interface provides the ability to define syllable tags within the lyrical data. The interface may then synchronize the at least one multimedia file with the audio file, and when the multimedia file includes lyrical data, synchronize the lyrical data with the voice recording in accordance with the syllables tags. Such that the synchronizing generates an intermediate file that includes for each multimedia file at least one corresponding time stamp to indicate the position and time for where the multimedia file is to be synchronized within the audio file. In addition, the interface includes the ability to encode the audio file with the at least one multimedia file to generate a single audio bit stream, wherein the encoding uses the intermediate file to position and encode the at least one multimedia file with the audio file such that a single audio bit stream is generated that includes embedded synchronized multimedia files.
