Abstract:

Briefly stated, the present invention is directed to a system, apparatus, and method for creating audio tracks of commentary and for automatically synchronizing and playing of such commentaries with scenes in a movie, or other media content. The movie or other media content may reside on a DVD, or other computer-readable storage medium, or be streamed to the consumer's computing device. The consumer may record their own commentaries about the movie or other media content. The consumer may then provide their commentaries to a community of other commentaries. The commentaries may be organized into categories based on a variety of criteria, including the media, the contributor, a ranking of the commentary, or the like. A consumer may select various commentaries for playback during a movie or other media content. As the movie or other media content is played, automatic synchronization and playback of the selected commentaries may be performed.
