Optical disc reproduction device and reproduction method which can achieve a dynamic switching of the reproduced content

摘要

A multimedia optical disc which includes a data region for storing a plurality of objects which include video data, audio data and sub-picture data, wherein the data region is composed of a plurality of small regions, wherein each object is stored in consecutive small regions and wherein each small region includes a first subregion for storing video data of a certain reproduction period, a plurality of second subregions which each store audio data, wherein audio data stored in different second subregions express different reproduction audio to each other and each set of audio data is data to be reproduced at a same time as the video data in a first subregion, a plurality of third subregions which each store sub-picture data, wherein sub-picture data stored in different third subregions express different images to each other and each set of sub-picture data is data to be reproduced at a same time as the video data in the first subregion and a fourth subregion for storing control information, wherein each set of control information is valid for a reproduction period of data in a same small region and wherein the control information includes an indication to a reproduction device for a combination of one set of audio data out of the second subregions and one set of sub-picture data out of the third subregions which are to be reproduced together with the video data in the first subregion.
