Along with the emergence of a new generation of multimedia applications has come a need to facilitate real-virtual teleconferences and automatic generation of contents. In this direction Java Multimedia Studio, a tool completely java-based allowing to edit, record and playback multimedia sessions over the Internet MBone, has been developed.

It not only enhances on-line and enables off-line multimedia conferencing but also gives a much more challenging opportunity to create multimedia sessions enriching their contents. * The author was sponsored by the International Institute for Advanced Scientific Studies “Eduardo R.
