Abstract

We have built over the last few years an integrated browser and query interface for watching a movie synchronized with its script. The system is demonstrated with the movie 'The Wizard of Oz', which was fully synchronized with its script using automated tools described elsewhere. Searchable textual descriptions and synchronization metadata (hyperlinks) are generated dynamically on the server side. Video content navigation runs in a DVD player embedded in a web browser on the client side. Thus, the owner of the DVD can connect to our site and view, search and navigate the movie shot by shot.
