Abstract
Audiovisual content stored on an optical medium is searched for presentation of desired visual frames by indexing and analyzing subtitles associated with the visual frames. A subtitle index engine retrieves subtitles from the audiovisual content and maps the subtitles to associated visual frames. A subtitle search engine applies search queries to the subtitle index to identify frames having associated subtitles with a predetermined relationship. The subtitle index engine and subtitle search engine are present on an optical medium, such as a BD medium. The index and search engines are design for execution in an application framework associated with the optical medium, such as JAVA working with a JAVA application programming interface.
