Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for managing playlists of a rewritable recording medium in order to prevent unlimited playback or illegal edition of television broadcast programs or movies wherein copyright protection is required. The present invention operates by adding information needed for automatic timed deletion of consecutively recorded clips of A/V streams and deletion time information into the playlists of a recording medium such as a high density rewritable optical disc (BD-RW), whereby referring to the recorded information, the corresponding clips of A/V streams are automatically deleted.

Abstract: The present method of maintaining edit summary information on a rewritable storage medium maintains edit summary information (TableOfFastEditInfo) about real play list files, virtual play list files, and clip information files recorded on a rewritable storage medium such as a BD-RW with a view to facilitating editing of a play list, thereby making it possible to delete a part or the whole of a real play list selected by a user fast by consulting the edit summary information.

Abstract: The present method that manages play lists on a rewritable storage medium records additional flag information indicating whether an A/V stream clip is allowed to be partially deleted or edited in a play list corresponding to the A/V stream clip recorded on a rewritable optical disk (BD-RW) and selectively executes a user's request to edit the A/V stream clip depending on the flag information, thereby effectively preventing programs or movies the copyright of which should be protected from being edited illegally.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for dubbing audio on rewritable medium such as a high-density rewritable optical disc (BD-RE) which is capable of simultaneously recording a main A/V stream and a dubbed audio stream on the recording medium, while automatically and continuously producing and recording real play lists and a virtual play list adapted to control reproduction of the main A/V stream and dubbed audio stream. In accordance with this method, the user can conveniently manage recording of a dubbed audio stream corresponding to a main A/V stream on the rewritable recording medium.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for managing recording and reproduction of a multi-dubbed audio stream. This method includes the steps of producing virtual play lists, the number of which corresponds to the number of dubbed audio streams desired by a user in association with the clip-unit main A/V stream, for reading and reproduction of the dubbed audio streams, and recording a common play item, for reading and reproduction of the clip-unit main A/V stream, in the virtual play lists, while recording distinct sub play items, for reading and reproduction of the dubbed audio streams associated therewith, in the virtual play lists, respectively. Management information for search and management of play lists for multiple dubbed audio streams is also recorded in the file structure of a rewritable storage medium such as BD-RE (Blu-Ray Disc Rewritable).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of managing summary information of play lists. In the present method, summary information is written in a specific file other than a play list file wherein the summary information is summarized from information written in play list files created under file structure of a recording medium. Afterwards, the summary information written in the specific file is read, and at least one thumbnail representing a play list is displayed onto a menu screen for user selections with reference to the read summary information. Through the concentrated summary information, play list related information such as thumbnails can be displayed fast.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a reproducing apparatus for a remote rental system, and in particular to a reproducing apparatus and control method for the apparatus by which the playback permission of the video title, advertisements, and charge collection are performed remotely over a public communication network between a remote server and a reproducing apparatus. The remote rental system of the present invention comprises an information-stored medium with a unique ID code, a reproducing apparatus for playing the data on the information-stored medium, and a remote server for controlling the playback of the information-stored medium on the reproducing apparatus over the communication network. The remote rental system enables customers to keep the information-stored medium at a low cost without return, to use the information-stored medium whenever they want, and to receive useful information such as public advertisements that are provided continually over the communication network.
