Abstract :
Compact disc interactive (CD-I) is a multimedia system for home entertainment, education, training, publishing, and other applications that combine audio, video, text, graphics, animation, and interactivity. A full motion system is defined to extend CD-I with the capability to play moving natural pictures on full screen with associated audio of compact disc quality. To play full motion sequences from the CD-I disc requires compression of the audiovisual information to the CD-I bitrate. The full motion system applies a compression method based on the MPEG standard. The features of the CD-I full motion system, application of the MPEG standard for full motion, and the architecture of a full motion CD-I player are described
