MPV Enables GoodDigital Imaging on Photo/Video
Players

• Rapid startup on disc / memory card insertion
• One top-level MPV entry point provides access to
  disc/card contents
• Fast performance for displaying images
• MPV supports screen thumbnail renditions for
  hi-res files videos
• Playback of stills video with background music
• MPV albums organize contents for playback with
  music
• Organizes content on CD DVD
• MPV albums organize 100s to 1000s of files for
  easy access to files anywhere on the disc
• Implement one firmware to handle content from any
  digital camera or CD/DVD maker
• MPV provides a single control format (manifest)
  that represents any of the content organizations
  coming from any DSC or CD/DVD.

  manner desired fully DCF compatible URLs and
  user-specified long filenames are supported.
• MPV adds on to existing implementations
• Keep existing file content, directory layout,
  metadata formats
• Use with any storage media, file system, or
  internet
• Original data MPV works anywhere avoids
  format conversions
• Collections span devices, applications, and
  services
• Includes metadata and associated data fully
  extensible
• Robust albums withstand filename location
  changes
• Identifiers enable pathname fixup essential for
  PC-based use
• Playback on WinXP systems or any IE 5.5 browser
• No software installation required
