A system for recording a real-time slide presentation to generate a low
bit-rate multimedia data object including a plurality of synchronized
overlayed replayable bitstreams including at least a bitstream
corresponding to an image of each of a plurality of slides of the slide
presentation, a bitstream corresponding to symbolic representations of
presenter's interactions with points of interest within each slide, and a
bitstream corresponding to a presenter's audio associated with each slide
is described. The plurality of bitstreams can be linked so as to make the
multimedia data object browsable on a presenter interaction
event-by-event basis. Interaction events can be linked to the audio
bitstream and/or to a video clip bitstream. Video clips can be recorded
during the real-time presentation such that when replaying the multimedia
data object, a video clip is synchronized and replayed dependent on
presenter interaction events.
