  • Publication number: 20080124047
    Abstract: A storage medium which stores catalog information and a catalog information recording and/or playback apparatus and method therefor. Using the method, catalog information including a still picture and additional information together with audio data are recorded on a storage medium such as a digital versatile disk (DVD), which is an optical record storage medium, and the catalog information is played back during playback of the audio data, to thereby provide various information on the audio data. Also, the apparatus includes a buffer memory for catalog playback which maintains a predetermined standard and compatibility, and is capable of real-time reading during playback of the audio data, and automatically plays back the catalog content, corresponding to the playback state of the audio data, when there is no additional selection of a user.

  • Patent number: 7379657
    Abstract: A method for generating additional information for guaranteeing seamless playback of data streams, a recording medium for storing the information, and recording, editing and/or playback apparatus using the same are provided. The method generates additional information for guaranteeing seamless playback. The method includes a step of generating data stream information for each of two or more data streams, which includes packet data to which information on an arrival time of the respective packet data is added. The data stream information includes seamless playback information, which indicates whether a corresponding data stream is to be seamlessly reproduced after playback of a preceding data stream, and/or seamless time control information for controlling an output time of the corresponding data stream to be seamlessly reproduced.

  • Patent number: 7194192
    Abstract: A recording medium for storing encrypted audio data, an apparatus and a method for recording the same, and an apparatus and a method for reproducing the same. Encrypted and unencrypted audio data corresponding to an audio program to be reproduced, such as a musical selection, are recorded in different areas of a recording medium. The encrypted audio data allows a reproduction of the audio program with a sound quality far better than a reproduction of the audio program using the audio data which is not encrypted. The audio data is encrypted and recorded to prevent illegal copying of the higher quality sound data. Accordingly, audio data may be reproduced using the unencrypted audio data in a reproducing apparatus complying with existing specifications. Higher quality audio may be reproduced from the encrypted audio data using the present invention.
