A system integrates a DVD system and a WWW web browser. Universal Resource
Locator (URL) information corresponding to sites accessible by the
browser are stored in fields within the DVD data. When a user actuates a
DVD element that has a corresponding URL, the web browser displays
information from that site. When the user actuates an HTML menu or other
browser-implemented feature, the DVD system accesses a portion of the DVD
data specified in the menu. This arrangement provides for two-way
communication, i.e., HTML in the browser is able to control DVD content
and vice-versa. Having the WWW information embedded in the DVD brings a
number of benefits, the foremost of which is the ability to write a "one
size fits all" template web page that can interrogate the DVD for URL
information and present WWW content corresponding to the URL synchronized
with the DVD information.
