A RECORDING MEDIUM ON WHICH ATTRIBUTE INFORMATION ON THE PLAYBACK DATA IS RECORDED TOGETHER WITH THE PLAYBACK DATA AND A SYSTEM FOR APPROPRIATELY REPRODUCING THE PLAYBACK DATA USING THE ATTRIBUTE INFORMATION

摘要

The video data to be reproduced is stored in a file in a video title set (VTS) secured in an information recording area on an optical disk. In the beginning area of the video title set (VTS), video title set information (VTSI) for managing the video title set (VTS) is written. The video title set information (VTSI) is provided with a table (VTS_MAT) for managing the video title set information. In the table (VTSI_MAT), the attributes peculiar to the video data stored in the title set (VTS) and the attributes peculiar to the audio streams and sub-picture streams to be reproduced together with the video data are written. By referring to the management table (VTSI_MAT), the optimum playback conditions for the video data, audio streams, and sub-picture streams to be reproduced are set in a reproducing system.
