Abstract: An information record medium comprises video information for indicating a main-video, sub-video information for indicating a sub-video which can be displayed at least partially over the main-video, and sub-video control information including (i) a plurality of types of control information elements for display control of the sub-video information in various methods set in advance and (ii) type indicating information to indicate presence or absence, or effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the control information elements by each of the types.

Abstract: In an information recording medium, object data made into a stream including those composed of a plurality of angle video information is recorded. Each of the angle video information, for example, is made of a set of GOPs. Each of the GOPs is segmented and stored in a packet. In an object data file, a switch unit as a logical delimiter for angle switching on the reproduction time axis is defined so that a plurality of packets containing the same GOP segmented will not be placed astride the boundary of the switch unit and the GOP which can be reproduced without using the GOP belonging to a switch unit preceding over the switch unit boundary is arranged as a first GOP of the switch unit in question.

Abstract: On an information record medium, there are recorded a plurality of still picture information and information on a transition effect during successive reproduction of the plurality of still picture information. As the transition between still pictures reproduced successively, it is possible not only to perform a normal transition in which after display of one still picture is ended, display of the next still picture is started, but also a cross transition in which the display end of one still picture and the display start of the next still picture can be performed concurrently. During successive reproduction of the still picture information, the transition effect information recorded corresponding to each still picture set is referenced so that each still picture is reproduced so as to produce the transition effect at switching of still pictures.

Abstract: An information record medium contains a plurality of content informations and a plurality of play list sets each including a plurality of play list informations defining the reproduction sequence of the content informations. In addition, the information recording medium contains title information designating at least one play list set, which corresponds to the content informations to be reproduced, from among the plurality of play list sets to reproduce the plurality of content informations as a title, the title being a logical information unit of the plurality of content informations.
