Abstract:
For playing an interactive audiovisual movie, a movie episode data object which comprises a plurality of audio/video segments, separate audio tracks, and playback instructions is stored (51) in a data store of a computerized playback device. The playback device retrieves (52) the playback instructions and, in accordance with the playback instructions, retrieves (S31) and plays (532) audio/video segments, generates (535) interface elements for receiving from a user decision commands while playing the audio/video segments, and retrieves (S31) and plays (S32) further audio/video segments depending on the user decision commands. The playback device further retrieves (S33) one of the separate audio tracks and plays (S34) the separate audio track uninterruptedly while playing an end of a first audio/video segment and a start of a second audio/video segment which is played subsequently to the first audio/video segment. Thus, an audio track is played uninterruptedly across the boundary of two consecutive audio/video segments.
