ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are a method and arrangement for accessing interactive audiovisual programs stored on a remote server (1) by a multimedia station (2). The audiovisual program is stored in the same format as it is stored on a CDi disc, i.e. in the form of sectors. Although based on the same data compression technology, the CDi video coding standard does not comply with the MPEG coding specification. Moreover, MPEG does not cover the handling of specific CDi features. In order to allow conventional CDi decoders to access remotely stored CDi applications via interactive networks (3,4), the interactive audiovisual program is transmitted as a private MPEG2 data stream, using the concept of MPEG's transport stream. The multimedia station comprises a network interface (7) having a circuit (72) which assembles the transport packets and applies the signal sectorwise to a "stripped" CDi player (5,6).
