MIS Specification
Many years ago, the home theatre system consists of a big bulky television set with hi-fi, speakers, the video player and probably the karaoke set. As computer technology advances, nowadays we have more varieties of home entertaining. Nowadays the television is better also. We have plasma TV and LCD TV. In addition, besides VCD and DVD player, there are other electronic devices such as the Media player and MP3 player.
There are so many CDs at home nowadays. There are DVDs, VCDs, audio CDs and those CDs in which we save our photographs, documents, the RW-CDs or W-CDs. All the CDs look the same! If we lost the CD cover or got the CDs mixed up, especially when there is no labels on the CD, then we do not know what these CDs are. There are times where we do not know what the CDs are, example, a friend of mine gave me a CD as Christmas Gift last year. I do not know what sort of CD it is. Different player can only read certain CD. In the end I have to try all the players to know which it can work. Some CDs can be viewed both on the TV when read with the CD player and on computer as well. This is definitely better.
Seeing the need for a standard metadata for multimedia files, M.I.S or McGrath Info Solution has come up with MIS specification, free for non-commercial projects. MIS specification is an external text based metadata file that gives users metadata about a video, an audio or even an image file. With .MIS, movie file can have information about the plot, credit, etc. An image could contain who is in a picture, when the picture was taken, where it was taken,etc.
Play DVD, AVI, MP3, MPEG or view pictures (JPG, TIF, GIF, PNG, BMP) files, manage and obtain information about a media file using the MIS specification (subtext, chapters, URL...), .NFO or .TXT. With MIS specification, you can have the possibility to resume any media such as the video or audio media, a 10-foot onscreen TV interface, parental control, sorting, profiles, etc. -- Everything working like a regular player. There is no profile needed. You can choose the language, English or French etc. Similarly in the case of a podcast, giving user chapters and URLs in a .MIS. So, a MP3 player could easily navigate to different sections.
