  • Patent number: 6128434
    Abstract: A reproduction apparatus is designed to select and decode speech and subtitles (characters) in a given language from a disk on which various types of information are recorded in different languages. This system arrangement makes it possible to standardize the manufacture of disks and reproduction apparatuses world-wide, resulting in a reduction in production cost. In a disk 100, various types of information are recorded in different languages along with video information. A reproduction apparatus selects information in a given language from the reproduced information using a data string processing section 203, a system control section 204, and an operator section 205, and supplies the selected pieces of information to each of a video processing section 206, a subtitle decoder 211, and an audio processing section 213.

  • Patent number: 6125232
    Abstract: Recorded at high density on an optical disk are at least one title set and a volume information file. The title set consists of a plurality of files aligned on a boundary between logical sectors. The files store title set management information and data objects to be reproduced. To retrieve data from the optical disk, volume file information is read out, thereby acquiring information about the desired title set. Then, the information for indicating steps or reproducing the data object and managing the desired title set is acquired. Using the title set management information, data is reproduced from the optical disk.

  • Patent number: 5999698
    Abstract: In reproduction of a predetermined title recorded on an optical disk, when multiangle video images are recorded on the optical disk, an angle mark having a form of a camera is turned on. During reproduction of this title, when reproduction reaches a multiangle video image recorded portion, the angle mark flashes so that a viewer or user of the video can be notified of a state in which video reproduction at an angle different from that of the currently reproduced video image is possible.
