Interactive Menus

Markup Language Introduction

For interactive menus the FOpen Interactive Markup language is used, a comepletely ad-hoc declarative solution. While the older consumer alternatives for HD physical media used technologies like Java (BD-J on Blu-ray) and Web-Based Technologies (HDi on HD DVD), they all come with different costs and disadvantages:

• BD-J uses a complex Java ME platform
• Web Technologies rapidly evolve, making web-based menus too dependent on web engines
