Abstract: This invention augments media files, using an apparatus that reads instructions within media files to control methods for processing meta data and media data and inputting data from a human user, and outputting transformed data. Some embodiments include a data structure having a plurality of media instructions stored within an ISO media file, that, when executed, functionally transform video information on the media file, based on input information elicited and received from a human user and on the data structure, to an output signal that includes video modified by the input information and the data in the structure. In some embodiments, a method reads media file, eliciting and receiving input information from a human user; and functionally transforming the media file audio-video data based on the input information received from the user and control data in the data structure(s) into modified outputs as controlled by the instructions.
