Actually, the book has been split in 2 volumes by the publisher. The
first volume concentrates on authoring synthetic contents from an
interactive multimedia point of view. The second volume, More MPEG-4
Jumpstart, will be published early next year and contains audio/video,
streaming, synchronization, mpeg-4 file format, ipmp, and so on. It is
already on pre-order on Amazon and other bookstores.
Thanks for your comments.
