Continuous Media Markup Language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Continuous Media Markup Language (CMML) is a markup language for audio or video, in the same way that HTML is one for text.^[1] CMML is essentially a timed text codec. It allows file creators to structure a time-continuously sampled data file by dividing it into temporal sections (also called clips), and provides these clips with some additional information. This information is HTML-like and is essentially a textual representation of the audio or video file. CMML enables textual searches on these otherwise binary files.^[2]

CMML is appropriate for use with all Ogg media formats, to provide subtitles and timed metadata.

CMML is deprecated; Xiph.Org Foundation recommends use Kate instead.

Example of CMML Content

<cmml> <stream timebase="0"> <import src="galaxies.ogv" contenttype="video/ogg"/> </stream> <head> <title>Hidden Galaxies</title> <meta name="author" content="CSIRO"/> </head> <clip id="findingGalaxies" start="15"> <a href="http://www.aao.gov.au/galaxies.anx#radio"> Related video on detection of galaxies </a> <img src="galaxy.jpg"/> <desc>What's out there?</desc> <meta name="KEYWORDS" content="Radio Telescope"/> </clip></cmml>
