Interactive media streams with real-time characteristics, such as those produced by shared whiteboards, distributed Java applets or shared VRML viewers, are rapidly gaining importance. Current solutions to the recording of interactive media streams are limited to one specific application (e.g. one specific shared whiteboard). In this talk I will present our generic recording service which enables the recording and playback of this new class of media. To facilitate generic recording we have defined the Application Level Real-Time Protocol for Interactive Media (RTP/I) which covers common aspects of the interactive media class in analogy to the RTP protocol for audio and video. Based on the RTP/I protocol we have introduced a generalized recording service that enables the recording and playback of arbitrary interactive media
