Advanced Content consists of the following:

• Playlist
• Primary Video Set
• Secondary Video Set
• Advanced Application
• Advanced Subtitle

A Playlist chooses the sequence of presentation objects to be played. For example, to play back the Primary Video Set, the player player might start by reading a TMAP file by using the URI described in the Playlist, then interpret an EVOBI referred to by the TMAP, and access the appropriate P-EVOB defined in the EVOBI.

In this case the TMAP is a file with extension .MAP, the EVOBI exists within the one and only Advanced Video Title Set file (extension .VTI), and the P-EVOB exists with the EVOB file with same name as the TMAP file, with extension .EVO. All of these files are found in the HVDVD_TS folder.

To present Advanced Application, which means construct video rather than playing it directly, a player reads a Manifest file by using the URI described in the Playlist, and starts to present an initial Markup file described in the Manifest file after storing resource elements (including the initial file).

In this case the Manifest and other Advanced Application files are found in the ADV_OBJ folder.

Here is a table that shows the Relation among Presentation Objects in Advanced Content.
