Abstract
An interactive DVD browser in accordance with the DVD specification for read-only discs is capable of accessing remotely located data over the Internet through a technique which contemplates new navigation commands as well as the embedding of HTML page addresses in navigation commands in place of data stream identifiers currently unused by the DVD specification. A navigation command is supplied to the interactive DVD browser indicating the browser should change data sources. The navigation command includes a network protocol address, in the form of HTML page address, as well as a local address of the user's default Internet browser. A second command specifies a predetermined period of time in which the browser should wait until the Internet browser establishes a hyperlink to the remote source of presentation data specified by the network page address. If the data resident at the specified address is suitable for presentation by the DVD browser, the data is presented, otherwise, the DVD browser will wait while the network browser presents non-DVD compliant data. The technique enables software updates, on-line registration and other dynamic data activities to occur with a legacy DVD browser while still complying with the DVD specification for read-only disc.
