- 9. The method of claim 1 wherein the Rich Media Content description file is created in stages by different users injecting content into the template.
- 10. The method of claim 1 wherein the MVR file is a Rich Media container in a binary format.
- 11. A system for multi-stage creation of editable Rich Media content executable on a multimedia player, comprising:
a) processor means for accessing selected Rich Media and creating a multimedia repository file of the selected Rich Media content in an text based format; b) means for creating and storing a template for assembling the Rich Media content; and c) processor means for combining the template and the description file into a multimedia repository file executable on a multimedia player.
- 12. The system of claim 11 further comprising:
d) means managing the creation of the template and Rich Media Content description file in stages by different users.
- 13. The system of claim 11 further comprising:
e) means operating the processor in a batch mode to combine the template and the Rich Media Content description file into a Multimedia Vehicle Repository (MVR) file executable on a multimedia player.
- 14. A program medium executable in a computer system for multi-stage creation of Rich Media Content, comprising:
a) program code in a medium for accessing the Rich Media assets using a processor as an authoring tool to create a Multimedia Vehicle Repository (MVR) file of selected stored Rich Media assets in an text based format; b) program code in a medium for creating a template for structuring Rich Media Content; and c) program code in a medium for combining the template and the Rich Media Content description file in the processor to create an MVR file executable on a multimedia player; and d) injecting other content into the Rich Media Content description file by another user.
- 15. The medium of claim 14 further comprising:
e) program code creating an XML based MVR file.
- 16. The medium of claim 14 further comprising:
f) program code creating an MVR-XML file using a textual editor.
- 17. The medium of claim 14 further comprising:
g) program code using an MVR-XML file as a data interchange among other Rich Media Content creation applications.
- 18. The medium of claim 14 further comprising:
h) program code managing the creation of the template and Rich Media Content description file in stages by different users.
- 19. The medium of claim 14 further comprising:
i) program code operating the processor in a batch mode to combine the template and the Rich Media Content description file into a Multimedia Vehicle Repository (MVR) file executable on a multimedia player.
- 20. The medium of claim 14 further comprising:
j) program code running the processor in a batch mode for combining the template and the Rich Media Content description file.
