Claim One:
1. A method for altering source digital image content, comprising: providing source digital image content organized as a sequence of frames to a rendering unit, wherein rendering of the source digital image content produces a first sequence of rendered frames for real-time display; altering the source digital image content within the rendering unit in response to tags in a data stream that provide tagged commands to the rendering unit to remove, add, or modify an item in the source digital image content using three-dimensional processing to produce a second sequence of rendered frames that is different than the first sequence of rendered frames, wherein the item is within a portion of the first sequence of rendered frames that is visible to a viewer, the step of altering the source digital image content further including detecting one of the tags in the data stream associated with a frame in the sequence of frames, a portion of the frame being altered to generate an altered frame in the second sequence of rendered frames; and utilizing the tag to access an action table and find the tagged commands, to cause the first sequence of rendered frames to be displayed and the second sequence of rendered frames to be recorded.
