Abstract: A method and an apparatus for retrieving information for managing video data involving link information associating metadata with the video data. A metadata indicator is used to indicate that metadata exists in a stream with the linking information. Link information also associates the metadata with location information to identify where additional information on the video data, which is described by the metadata, may be found. Using the method or apparatus, a single metadata unit is able to be associated with a plurality of video data units, or a plurality of metadata units are able to be associated with a single video data unit, in order to provide more information on the video data.

Abstract: The medium has script files including additional information about moving picture data, e.g., scene descriptive text and introduction of characters, etc. In addition, information linking each script file with a section of moving picture data to be presented with contents of the script file is included in a link data file or is contained in a filename of the script file. In reproduction of the recording medium, a script file linked with presently reproduced moving picture data section is determined and searched for based on the link data file or every filename of the script files, and contents of the found script file are presented together with the presently reproduced moving picture data. Furthermore, previously presented additional information is removed depending on data or filename of the found script file.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reproducing video data are discussed. According an embodiment, the apparatus includes a controller configured to receive a request of a path change, the controller configured to control the path change from a current path to the request path among the multiple reproduction paths by identifying path information in an entry point map, the path information associated with an entry point in the video data, and the entry point map having an entry point fine table including fine information of at least one entry point and an entry point coarse table including coarse information of the at least one entry point, the fine information and coarse information identifying a presentation time and an address for the at least one entry point.

Abstract: The computer readable medium stores an executable data structure for managing reproduction of text by a reproducing apparatus. The data structure includes at least one text subtitle stream having a style segment and at least one presentation segment. The style segment defines a group of region styles, and the presentation segment contains at least one region of text. The region of text is linked to a selected one of the group of region styles defined in the style segment by an identifier. The style segment and the at least one presentation segment are encapsulated into respective PES packets. The presentation segment contains a continuous presentation flag indicating whether continuous presentation is required for the presentation segment with a previous presentation segment. A presentation start time of the presentation segment is equal to presentation end time of the previous presentation segment when continuous presentation is required for the presentation segment with the previous presentation segment.

Abstract: A structure of navigation information for video data recorded on a recording medium and recording/reproducing methods and apparatuses using the structure. A primary data stream and secondary data streams associated with the primary data stream are recorded on a recording medium and access management information such as TMAP information is created for each of the recorded data streams and recorded thereon, the access management information including type information indicating whether the corresponding data stream is a primary stream or a secondary stream.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a recording medium containing moving picture data and additional information thereof and to reproducing method and apparatus of the recording medium. The present recording medium has script files including additional information about moving picture data, e.g., scene descriptive text and introduction of characters, etc. In addition, information linking each script file with a section of moving picture data to be presented with contents of the script file is included in a link data file or is contained in a filename of the script file. In reproduction of the recording medium, a script file linked with presently reproduced moving picture data section is determined and searched for based on the link data file or every filename of the script files, and contents of the found script file are presented together with the presently reproduced moving picture data. Furthermore, previously presented additional information is removed depending on data or filename of the found script file.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for recording and managing a multi-channel broadcast stream. The present method records on a recording medium such as a BD-RW a multi-channel broadcast stream where a plurality of channels are multiplexed, and creates and records management information for individual search and reproduction control of the plural channels. Consequently, this method ensures fast random access and various trick play of individual subchannel streams multiplexed in a recorded multi-channel stream at user's request.
