High-Quality Video Was Captured from a Laserdisc Player and Combined with Waveform Audio into an Audio-Video-Interleave (AVI) File Format in the Microsoft Video-For-Windows Environment (Microsoft Corp., Seattle, WA). with the Use of an Expert System, a Knowledge-Based Computer Program Provided Random Access to These Indexed AVI Files. the Program Can Be Played on Any Multimedia Computer Without the Need for Laserdiscs. This System Offers a High Level of Interactive Video Without the overhead and Cost of a Laserdisc Player.
