Abstract: An information storage medium for storing multi angle data, and a recording method and a reproducing apparatus thereof. The information storage medium stores data for a plurality of angles of a scene in interleaved blocks. Sizes of the interleaved blocks are integral multiples of sizes of integral numbered aligned units that include packets. Angle change points are included in each of the interleaved blocks which allows a reproducing apparatus to seamlessly jump from one angle to another angle during reproduction of the multi angle data. A number of the angle points recorded on the information storage medium is computed so that a jumping distance required by the data during reproduction does not exceed a maximum jumping distance of a reproducing apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus reproduces AV data in an interactive mode, a method handles a user input, and an information storage medium stores information therefor. The information storage medium includes AV data and a markup document utilized to reproduce the AV data in an interactive mode. The markup document includes first event information of an occurrence of a key input event corresponding to a user action to inform, by default, an AV playback engine, which plays back the AV data. Accordingly, interactive contents may be controlled using a limited user input device.

Abstract: The video playback apparatus includes: a video data processor for simultaneously and asynchronously reproducing a main-video stream and a sub-video stream, and controlling position- and size-information of a corresponding display window; and a video output controller, if one of the main- and sub-video streams reproduced by the video data processor is completely reproduced earlier than the other one, which controls the video data processor to enlarge a display window of the remaining video stream to an entire screen size.

Abstract: A multimedia stream generating method for 3-dimensional (3D) reproduction of additional reproduction information is provided, the method includes generating a video elementary stream (ES), an audio ES, an additional data stream, and an ancillary information stream that respectively comprise video data, audio data related to the video data, data of additional reproduction information which is to be reproduced together with the video data on a display screen, and additional reproduction information depth information used for 3D reproduction of the additional reproduction information.
