Abstract
Multimedia file formats that accommodate still photos encoded as video sequences are described. In addition, encoding multimedia files to include still photos as encoded video sequences and decoding multimedia files containing still photos encoded as video sequences are discussed. Many of the multimedia files described include information that enable a user to view the encoded video sequences of the still photos via an interactive menu. In several examples, the encoded video sequences are accessed via a menu showing thumbnail images of each of the still photos contained within the multimedia file. In many examples, the encoded video sequences are displayed in the manner of a slide show of the encoded still photos. In a number of examples, menus are used to organize of encoded still photos into digital albums. One embodiment of the invention includes at least one still photo encoded as an encoded video sequence and menu information that references the location of each encoded video sequence.
