an ENAV buffer in which is loaded an ENAV file; and
an ENAV engine which interprets and reproduces the buffered ENAV file to be reproduced with the AV data in the interactive mode,
wherein the ENAV engine allocates at least a portion of the ENAV buffer as an updateable markup area based on ENAV buffer configuration information, reads the ENAV file, and loads the ENAV file in the updateable markup area of the ENAV buffer.
