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: A method and apparatus for simultaneously reproducing multiple audio/video streams, the apparatus including: a mixer to mix and to output main audio data and sub-audio data; and an audio controller to control the mixer such that when a sub-video data is expanded to a full screen, the sub-audio data is reproduced and the main audio is not reproduced. Furthermore, if the sub-video data is expanded to a full screen, an audio and a subtitle for only the sub-video data are reproduced, thereby preventing confusions that a user may experience.

Abstract: Provided are a method to display a mark-up document according to a parental level, a method and an apparatus for reproducing AV data in an interactive mode, and a data storage medium. The data storage medium includes the AV data, and mark-up documents to reproduce the AV data in an interactive mode. Here, among the mark-up documents, a start-up document contains information on the mark-up documents to be displayed according to a set parental level.

Abstract: An information storage medium controls a multi-angle data reproducing apparatus by having a data structure including at least one clip for each angle, each angle clip being a data record unit of the multi-angle data for an angle. Each angle clip is divided into predetermined jumping units at jumping points and each is recorded in contiguous areas of the information storage medium. Using the clip jumping points as a link among the angle clips in which each angle clip is contiguously recorded provides efficient random access for reading the multi-angle data for angle change.

Abstract: A storage medium includes text-based subtitle data including style information for use with an apparatus and a method of playing back the storage medium.
