Abstract

This thesis discusses digital video and its integration into hypermedia systems. It shows some algorithms and formats to compress and store digital video, focusing on the MPEG standard. General topics on hypertext and hypermedia systems are discussed as well as their problems and drawbacks, and ways to overcome them. As a special example the architecture and features of Hyper-G and its Unix/X11 client Harmony are described. Finally, the features and implementation of the Harmony Film Player are described. It fully integrates MPEG movies into the hyperlink structure of Hyper-G/Harmony by allowing links from and to movie documents. Any part, both temporal and spatial, can be used either as source or destination anchor of a hyperlink.
