Abstract: A recording medium having a data structure for managing additional content data of main data recorded thereon in accordance with the present invention comprises a data area storing at least one clip file including main data and/or additional content data of the main data; and a navigation area storing a clip information file including information to indicate whether the clip file includes additional content data.

Abstract: A method of creating a playback control file for a recording medium and a method and apparatus for reproducing data using the playback control file are disclosed. The method of creating a playback control file for a recording medium includes creating a virtual stream file designating a group of stream files recorded on the recording medium, and creating a PlayList being able to reproduce the group of stream files, individually or in combination, the PlayList including a PlayItem directly designating the virtual stream file and identification information designating at least one of elementary streams included in the group of stream files.

Abstract: A recording area of an example recording medium stores a text subtitle stream that includes a dialog style segment and at least one dialog presentation segment associated with the dialog style segment. The dialog style segment includes at least one set of style information. Each set of style information provides region positioning information for positioning a region in an image and text box positioning information for positioning a text box in the region. The dialog presentation segment includes at least one region subtitle information. The region subtitle information includes text subtitle data (e.g., style data and/or text string data) and a region style identifier, and the region style identifier identifies one of the sets of style information in the dialog style segment to apply to the text subtitle data.

Abstract: A recording medium with the increased recording efficiency is provided. Depending upon the size of the remaining area of a sector, a transport stream unit is recorded across two sectors with the result that sectors contain no null data. If the size of the remaining area of the last sector of a stream object unit is less than the size of a transport stream unit, the remaining area is padded with null data.

Abstract: In a method for creating and recording management information for searching recorded digital data streams when a digital data stream is recorded on a recording medium, index information for pointing to the location of the time information corresponding to the first stream object unit of each stream object on a time information table is created and recorded. When reproducing or searching the recorded digital data stream, a stream object is found using the time information of stream objects and the recording location corresponding to a requested search time is found using the index information.

Abstract: A method and a text subtitle decoder for decoding a text subtitle stream recorded on a recording medium are disclosed. A subtitle loading buffer initially loads a text subtitle stream including a dialog style segment defining a group of region styles and a dialog presentation segment having dialog presentation information and dialog text data for a dialog having at least one region. A text subtitle processor parses the dialog presentation segment into composition information, rendering information, and the dialog text data for each region. Next, a text renderer renders the text strings into a bitmap object for each region according to the rendering information, and the rendered bitmap object is composed in a graphics plane.

Abstract: A recording medium and method and apparatus for reproducing and recording text subtitle streams are disclosed. A PlayList file contains a set of PlayItems and a SubPlayItem. Each PlayItem is configured to reproduce at least one main AV stream, and the SubPlayItem is configured to reproduce at least one text subtitle stream. The PlayList file further contains synchronization information which indicates a presentation start time of the SubPlayItem within a playing time interval of one of the set of PlayItems. The PlayList file, main AV stream, and text subtitle streams are recorded on a recording medium. Each text subtitle stream includes a plurality of dialog presentation segments, each of which includes at least one region of dialog text.

Abstract: The recording medium includes a data structure having a navigation map. The navigation map includes a number of map entries and indicates the number of map entries. Each map entry maps presentation time with location information for a segment of the data stream stored on the recording medium. The navigation map also includes multi-path information when the data stream includes segments representing multiple reproduction paths.

Abstract: A recording medium, an apparatus and a method for recording time information of digital data streams are provided. The apparatus in one embodiment includes a time information creating unit creating a first time field and a second time field, wherein the first time field includes a 90 KHz unit value and the second time field includes a 27 MHz unit value, and a data formatter creating a data object unit being presentation data by adding a corresponding unit of the digital data to management data including the time information.

Abstract: The present invention relates to method and apparatus of recording a multi-channel data stream on a recording medium in such a manner that substreams of digital channels constituting the multi-channel data stream can be distinguished each other in reproduction. The present recording method records a multi-channel stream composed of substreams belonging to plural selected channels on a recording medium, unitizes the recorded stream to a single stream object, creates a piece of search information for each substream contained in the recorded multi-channel stream, and records the created plural pieces of search information on the recording medium. The present method makes it possible to selectively search and reproduce each substream among a multi-channel stream recorded on a recording medium, thereby improving use convenience of a recording machine such as a digital video recorder.

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: A recording medium, method, and apparatus for reproducing text subtitle streams are disclosed. A microcomputer initially reads a set of PlayItems and a SubPlayItem included in a PlayList which is recorded on a recording medium, and it further reads synchronization information included in the SubPlayItem. Each PlayItem is configured to reproduce at least one main AV stream, and the SubPlayItem is configured to reproduce a text subtitle stream. The synchronization information indicates a presentation start time of the SubPlayItem on a global time axis of the PlayList. When the PlayList is randomly accessed at a random access time on the global time axis, the microcomputer calculates a corresponding access time on a time axis of the SubPlayItem. Then a text subtitle decoder decodes for presentation a dialog presentation segment with the closest dialog start time after the corresponding access time on the axis of the SubPlayItem.
