摘要:
The present invention provides an optical disc, as an information recording medium for storing map information for mapping time stamp information about an audio object recorded on the optical disc in a constant bit rate format or a variable bit rate format and a recording position on the disc, which can reduce a size of the map information. The map information stored in the optical disc records a playback duration for only first and last units of a plurality of audio object units (AOBU) comprised in an audio object (AOB) for each AOB when audio data in the variable bit rate mode is to be recorded, and records the sizes and playback duration of the AOBU for the last one of AOBUs comprised in AOB and for any one of the AOBUs except for the last AOBU.

A recording medium (2) has a first recording area (27) on which recording information is recorded, and a second recording area (28) on which management information for managing the recording information is recorded. The second recording area (28) includes a bit rate recording area for recording a bit rate.

In a system for recording/playing back video data together with control information, a thumbnail, or thumbnail control information, extracted from a moving picture of a video is used as the control information. The thumbnail control information includes information for generating a thumbnail image which is generated based on the contents of the video data, and information for using the generated thumbnail picture in a menu corresponding to the contents of the video data. The user can create a menu corresponding to the video recorded contents.

A system for playing a selected one of multiple subtitle tracks recorded in a synchronized fashion with a motion picture on an optical disk (23). Individual subtitle tracks in numerous languages may be provided for the same motion picture, with or without multiple soundtracks. The user may select a soundtrack in his/her language if it is available. If not, subtitles can be displayed in a selected language.

At a storage section 11, picture information of intermediate resolution and picture information of low resolution are formed on the basis of picture information of high resolution which has been read out from a frame memory 3. These picture information are caused to undergo fixed length encoding at a compression/expansion circuit 20. These picture data of three kinds of resolutions which have been caused to undergo fixed length encoding are respectively recorded, in order of reproduction (playback) and continuously, onto an optical disc having tri-sected recording areas for respective resolutions. Thus, it is sufficient to read out, from anyone of the recording areas, picture data of resolution corresponding to equipment which outputs picture data. In addition, since the picture data of respective resolutions are recorded in order of reproduction (playback) and continuously, the seek time is eliminated, thereby contributing to realization of high reproduction (playback) speed.

A method and apparatus (200) for controlling a video camera recorder (100) or the like, capable of flexibly meeting user demands for image quality, recording time, etc. When recording information on a rewritable optical recording medium (1), the recording mode for the optical recording medium (1) is selected at least frombetween write-once and rewritable based on a set recording rate (S304). Before recording (S310), the recording status of the optical recording medium (1) is also determined at least between an unrecorded area and a recorded area (S306).
摘要:
When a digitized broadcast is recorded in a storage medium, a required capacity of the storage medium is firstly calculated on the basis of a bit-rate of digitized broadcast data and a recording time which is known in advance. If the remaining capacity of the storage medium is smaller than the required capacity of the storage medium, for example, a frame rate decimation and pixel reduction are performed upon a broadcast to be newly stored, a re-encoding processing is performed for the broadcast and then the resultant broadcast is stored in the storage medium. If the remaining storage capacity of the storage medium is larger than the required capacity of the storage medium and thus remains, a frame interpolation and pixel interpolation are performed for the broadcast to be stored and then a re-encoding processing is performed for the resultant broadcast in order to improve its image quality. As a result, recording of the broadcast data in the storage medium can be ensured.
摘要:
An optical disc includes a data area and a time map area, the data area recording a video object that includes a plurality of data units, each of which contains at least one picture, the first picture of each of the plurality of data units being an Intra Picture that can be separately reproduced, the time map area recording a table showing recording addresses of data units, the addresses corresponding to a plurality of reproduction times that belong to a period during which the video object is reproduced, each of the data units containing a picture to be reproduced at a corresponding one of the plurality of reproduction times, and the table recording data sizes of the Intra Pictures in correspondence with the plurality of data units. Recording apparatuses and a computer-readable recording medium storing a program to record such a disc are disclosed.

There is disclosed an information recording/reproducing apparatus including an extraction unit (23) which receives a source signal including image signal standard information, and extracts/outputs the image signal standard information, a recording unit (13,24) which generates contents information having a pack form from the source signal, generates control information in accordance with the extracted image signal standard information, and records the information in a storage region of the recording medium, and a reproduction unit (25) which reads out the control information and contents information recorded in the storage region by the recording unit, demodulates the contents information, and reproduces the contents information based on the control information.
摘要:
A method is designed for recording contents information along a track of an optical disk of a writeable type. A volume detection step is carried out for detecting an actual volume of the contents information to be recorded into the optical disk. A capacity detection step is carried out for detecting a nominal capacity of the optical disk, which indicates a rated volume of information to be recorded at maximum. A density determination step is carried out for determining a recording density of the contents information based on the detected actual volume and the detected nominal capacity. A record step is carried out for recording the contents information into the optical disk at the determined recording density such that the actual volume of the contents information can fit into the nominal capacity of the optical disk.
