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.
