These representations could include elements of texts, graphic arts, sound, animation, and video. However, multimedia is restricted in such systems where information is digitalized and is processed by a computer. Scope of the multimedia and then the applications of multimedia are multimedia in entertainment, multimedia in business, multimedia in software, multimedia in education and training, e-learning, multimedia on the web, multimedia authoring tools and types of authoring tools are card and page based tools, icon based-event driven tools, time based tools are been concluded as the scope of the multimedia and those process in the multimedia. Keywords Multimedia authoring tools, Multimedia scope, Multimedia applications Introduction The Definition of Multimedia: “Multimedia is a combination of text, graphic, sound, animation, and video that is delivered interactively to the user by electronic or digitally manipulated means. A multimedia project development requires creative, technical, organizational, and business skills.” International Journal Of Information And Communication www.ijic.in, eISSN 2581-7159 SITAM 1970 - Special Issue January 1970 Text Text is the most common medium of representing the information. In multimedia text is mostly use for titles, headlines, means etc. the most commonly used software for viewing text files are Microsoft word, Notepad, word pad etc. Audio In multimedia audio means related with recording, playing etc. Audio is an important component of multimedia because this component increase the understandability and improves the clarity of the concept. Audio includes speech, music etc. Graphics Every multimedia presentation is based on graphics. The used of graphics in multimedia makes the concept more effective and presentable. The commonly used software for viewing graphics are windows picture, internet explorer etc. The commonly used graphics editing software is Adobe photo shop. Video Video means moving pictures with sound. It is the best way to communicates with each other. In multimedia it is used to makes the information more presentable and it saves a large amount of time. The commonly used software for viewing videos are: Quick Time Window media player Real player International Journal Of Information And Communication www.ijic.in, eISSN 2581-7159 SITAM 1970 - Special Issue January 1970 Quick Time Quick time is an extensible multimedia framework developed by Apple INC., capable of handling various formats of digital video, picture, sound, panoramic images, and interactivity. First made in 1991, the latest Mac version, quick time x, is currently available on Mac OS X snow leopard and newer. Apple ceased support for the windows version of quick time in 2016, and ceased support for quick time 7 on Mac OS in 2018. As of Mac OS X Lion, the underlying media framework for quick time, QT Kit, was deprecated in favor of a newer graphics framework, AV Foundation, and completely discontinued as of Max OS Catalina. Window media player Windows Media Player (WMP) is a deprecatedmedia player and media library application developed by Microsoft that is used for playing audio, video and viewing images on personal computers running the Microsoft Windowsoperating system, as well as on Pocket PC and Windows Mobile-based devices. Editions of Windows Media Player were also released for classic Mac OS, Mac OS X and Solaris but development of these has since been discontinued. In addition to being a media player, Windows Media Player includes the ability to rip music from and copy music to compact discs, burn recordable discs in Audio CD format or as data discs with playlists such as an MP3 CD, synchronize content with a digital audio player (MP3 player) or other mobile devices, and enable users to purchase or rent music from a number of online music stores. Windows Media Player replaced an earlier application called Media Player, adding features beyond simple video or audio playback. Windows Media Player 11 is available for Windows XP and included in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. The default file formats are Windows Media Video (WMV), Windows Media Audio (WMA), and AdvancedSystems Format (ASF), and its own XML based playlist format called Windows Playlist (WPL). The player is also able to utilize a digital rights management service in the form of Windows Media DRM. Windows Media Player 12 is the most recent version of Windows Media Player. It was released on October 22, 2009 along with Windows 7 and has not been made available for previous versions of Windows nor has it been updated since for Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.These later versions of Windows instead use Groove Music (for audio) and Microsoft Movies & TV (for video) as the default playback applications for most media; Windows Media Player is still included as a Windows component.Windows RTdoes not run Windows Media Player. History The first version of Windows Media Player appeared in 1991, when Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions was released.Originally called Media Player, this component was included with "Multimedia PC"-compatible machines but not available for retail sale. It was capable of playing .mmm animation files, and could be extended to support other formats. It used MCI to handle media files. Being a component of Windows, Media Player shows the same version number as that of the version Windows with which it was included. Microsoft continually produced new programs to play media files. In November of the following year, Video for Windows was introduced with the ability to play digital video files in an AVIcontainer format,with codec support for RLE and International Journal Of Information And Communication www.ijic.in, eISSN 2581-7159 SITAM 1970 - Special Issue January 1970 Video1, and support for playing uncompressed files. INDEO 3.2 was added in a later release. Video for Windows was first available as a free add-on to Windows 3.1, and later integrated into Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0. In 1995, Microsoft released ActiveMovie with DirectX Media SDK. ActiveMovie incorporates a new way of dealing with media files, and adds support for streaming media (which the original Media Player could not handle). In 1996, ActiveMovie was renamed DirectShow. However, Media Player continued to come with Windows until Windows XP, in which it was officially renamed Windows Media Player v5.1. ("v5.1" is the version number of Windows XP.) In 1999, Windows Media Player's versioning broke away from that of Windows itself. Windows Media Player 6.4 came as an out-of-band update for Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 that co-existed with Media Player and became a built-in component of Windows 2000, Windows ME and Windows XP with an mplayer2.exe stub allowing to use this built-in instead of newer versions. Windows Media Player 7.0 and its successors also came in the same fashion, replacing each other but leaving Media Player and Windows Media Player 6.4 intact. Windows XP is the only operating system to have three different versions of Windows Media Player (v5.1, v6.4 and v8) side by side. All versions branded Windows Media Player (instead of simply Media Player) support DirectShow codecs. Windows Media Player version 7 was a large revamp, with a new user interface, visualizations and increased functionality. Windows Vista, however, dropped older versions of Windows Media Player in favor of v11. Beginning with Windows Vista, Windows Media Player supports the Media Foundation framework besides DirectShow; as such it plays certain types of media using Media Foundation as well as some types of media using DirectShow. Windows Media Player 12 was released with Windows 7. It included support for more media formats and added new features. With Windows 8, however, the player did not receive an upgrade. On April 16, 2012, Microsoft announced that Windows Media Player would not be included in Windows RT, the line of Windows designed to run on ARM based devices. Features Core playback and library functions Windows Media Player supports playback of audio, video and pictures, along with fast forward, reverse, file markers (if present) and variable playback speed (seek & time compression/dilation introduced in WMP 9 Series). It supports local playback, streaming playback with multicast streams and progressive downloads. Items in a playlist can be skipped over temporarily at playback time without removing them from the playlist. Full keyboard-based operation is possible in the player. Windows Media Player supports full media management, via the integrated media library introduced first in version 7, which offers cataloguing and searching of media and viewing media metadata. Media can be arranged according to album, artist, genre, date et al. Windows Media Player 9 Series introduced Quick Access Panel to browse and navigate the entire library through a menu. The Quick Access Panel was also added to the mini mode in version 10 but was entirely removed in version 11. WMP 9 Series also introduced ratings and Auto Ratings. Windows Media Player 10 introduced support for aggregating pictures, Recorded TV shows, and other media into the library. A fully featured tag editor was featured in versions 9-11 of WMP, called the Advanced Tag Editor. However, the feature was removed in Windows Media Player 12. Since WMP 9 Series, International Journal Of Information And Communication www.ijic.in, eISSN 2581-7159 SITAM 1970 - Special Issue January 1970 the player features dynamically updated Auto Playlists based on criteria. Auto Playlists are updated every time users open them. WMP 9 Series and later also supports Auto Ratings which automatically assigns ratings based on the number of times a song is played.

  • Microsoft Responded to the Threat That Java Posed to the Applications Barrier to Entry by Engaging in Predatory and Anticompetitive Conduct
    VI. Microsoft Used Predatory and Anticompetitive Conduct to Impede Other Platform Threats as Well, Thereby Further Entrenching Its Operating System Monopoly A. Microsoft responded to the threat that Java posed to the applications barrier to entry by engaging in predatory and anticompetitive conduct 318. As explained, Java technology, both alone and in concert with non-Microsoft browsers, poses a threat to Microsoft’s operating system monopoly because it holds out the possibility of an effective cross-platform middleware that can significantly reduce the applications barrier to entry. i. See supra Part III.C.; ¶¶ 57-59. 319. Microsoft recognized the Java threat and, in conjunction with its effort to blunt the browser threat, engaged in a series of actions designed to interfere with the development, distribution, and usage of cross-platform Java. 319.1. Microsoft developed and then widely distributed, in part through Windows, a “polluted” version of Java that is not cross-platform. i. See infra Part VI A.1.; ¶¶ 320-321. 319.2. Microsoft’s purpose in creating and widely disseminating its version of Java was to fragment cross-platform Java and thus hinder the threat Java could pose to the applications barriers to entry. i. See infra Part VI.A.2.; ¶¶ 324-326. 319.3. In addition to polluting Java, Microsoft engaged in anticompetitive conduct designed to cripple cross-platform Java. i. See infra Part VI.A.3.b.(1); ¶¶ 330-332. 319.3.1. Microsoft, through its predatory campaign against Netscape, 633 weakened cross-platform Java’s principal distribution vehicle. 319.3.2. Microsoft used its monopoly power to force third parties to support its version of Java and to mislead developers into creating Windows-specific programs.
