Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a method, computer program product, and system to seamlessly integrate a multimedia presentation with triggered content provided using one or more external devices. The method includes processing a presentation script that specifies (i) one or more accessible audiovisual content items and (ii) a sequence of the audiovisual content items for presentation during the multimedia presentation. The method also includes transmitting the one or more audiovisual content items to one or more audiovisual output devices according to the sequence, and transmitting control signals to the one or more external devices to operate the external devices according to timing information included in the presentation script and with reference to at least one of the audiovisual content items, thereby seamlessly integrating content provided using the external devices with the multimedia presentation.

A device and method allows a user to create a mark corresponding to a moment in time of a captured recording to provide later viewing of a portion of the recording corresponding to the moments in time.

A system and method allows a user to enter a command capture audio, video, and/or still pictures that commence at a moment in time earlier than entering the command.

An electronic apparatus and a controlling method thereof are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a buffer configured to store audio data of an audio stream; and a processor configured to decode the audio data stored in the buffer, wherein the processor is further configured to determine a reproducing time corresponding to the audio data stored in the buffer, compare the reproducing time and a predetermined reproducing time, and control a storage amount of the audio data in the buffer so that an amount of the audio data corresponding to the predetermined reproducing time can be maintained in the buffer.

An embodiment of the present disclosure discloses a method for playing a video. The method comprises: parsing a file to be played to obtain one video stream and at least two audio streams by a player and saving the video and audio streams into a buffer; selecting a certain audio stream as a first audio stream, and obtaining the stream and the first audio stream from the buffer for decoding and playing; receiving an audio switching instruction, and determining one other channel of audio as a second audio stream according to the audio switching instruction; stopping decoding the first audio stream, and obtaining the video stream and the second audio stream from the buffer for decoding and playing. By using the method for playing a video, reparsing and readdressing are avoided; therefore, the time of addressing is saved, and the efficiency of switching is improved.

An apparatus, computer readable medium device, and method for controlling transportation of a tape medium. A determination is made whether to execute a backhitch operation in response to writing a data set to tape from the buffer. If not, a determination is made whether a transaction size at which data is transferred from the buffer to the tape is less than a buffer size. If so, then a determination is made of a a new speed and whether a current speed is different from the determined new speed. If so, then a backhitch is initiated.

A tape recording device, method, and computer program product are provided for performing operations of position movement, reading, and writing on a tape medium, and receiving a series of commands from an upper-layer device. The tape recording device includes a buffer for temporarily storing data related to the reading and an append write, a tape for recording the data stored in the buffer, a reading and writing head for reading data from the tape into the buffer and writing the data onto the tape, control means for reading data from a designated position of the tape and storing the data in the buffer, and for writing the data stored in the buffer onto the tape from a written data end position in response to an append write command, and a non-volatile memory for storing data stored in the buffer in response to an append write command.
