Patent ID: 8074251

Claim:
An apparatus for presenting an extracted video stream to a user, said apparatus comprising: a media access logic which accesses said extracted video stream; a first presentation logic which presents content from said extracted video stream accessed by the media access logic; a position monitor logic which monitors a first playback position in a time dimension of said extracted video stream; a commentary layer selection logic which selects, from a plurality of commentary layers associated with the extracted video stream, a commentary layer that includes multiple commentary clips, each commentary clip including a trigger position indexed to the extracted video stream, which enables the selected layers to be played back sequentially; a determining logic which determines that the commentary clips are overlapped; a proximity detector which detects proximity of said first playback position to a commentary clip trigger position associated with one or more commentary clips of the selected layers; and a second presentation logic which adjusts a playback vector of the extracted video stream to slow the presentation of the extracted video stream based on time required to sequentially play the overlapping commentary clips in a non-overlapping fashion, such that the overlapping commentary clips are sequentially presented during the slowed presentation of the extracted video stream.
