Abstract: The personal computer (PC) and 32-bit Windows operating systems are quickly becoming the platform of choice for professional video, film, and multimedia producers. Windows users have long benefited from the time and money savings offered by “open platform” interoperability. Professional media producers need the same opportunity to be able to buy the best interoperable tools, from an assortment of vendors, at a variety of price/performance points to meet their individual requirements. Many leading video hardware, software, and system vendors are committed to delivering video and audio editing, multimedia authoring, plug-in effects, and animation and graphics creation applications that all work together on PCs with varying performance capabilities. The goal is to let users choose all the best tools for their jobs at competitiveprices. This paper describes a software architecture for professional video applications based on the enhanced AVI file format, the Windows NT file system (NTFS), and ActiveMovie. It also proposes a set of enhancements to ActiveMovie that will ensure that manufacturers are able to deliver interoperable, broadcast-quality production tools on 32-bit Windows PCs.
