摘要:
The invention relates to a digital data medium, such as a DVD, for storing at least one content stream, that comprises: a set of connected cells including content cells for storing portions of the stream of said at least one content stream; means adapted for implementing the equivalent of a turntable which, when correctly parametered, enables a normal reading of the content cells, i.e. a reading that enables the restoration of at least one content stream; a module for controlling the access to data that comprises means for positioning a memory in a predetermined state and means, depending on the predetermined state, for authorising or not authorising a normal reading of at least one content stream while enabling an access to or a correct parametering of the turntable. The invention also relates to a method for reading such a digital data medium.
摘要:
Copying apparatus has a reader operable to access locations of a recording medium to read both content data and navigational command data that determines the order in which a player of the recording medium will access the content data. A navigator executes a navigation command in accordance with navigation data read by the reader. A controller controls the location of the recording medium accessed by the reader in accordance with the result of the execution of a navigation command executed by the navigator so as to cause the reader to follow a navigation path through the content data defined by the navigation data and to cause a presentation data storer to store data for enabling recording of the content data for the navigational path.

The present invention relates to an information recording medium on which information signals are recorded on the signal surface of a disc plate across a plurality of sectors in units of sectors and each of the plurality of sectors has at least a sector address and sector data. In particular, this information recording medium includes a first sector part, which includes at least one sector, and a second sector part which includes at least one sector having a sector address equal to the at least one sector in the first sector part but containing different sector data.

Methods for data storage protection and encryption are disclosed. In some of these methods, the method may include any of the following, among other things, storing information about the storage format to a Geometrical Cell Location Table (GCLT), shuffling a Geometrical Cell Location Table giving rise to a Shuffled Geometrical Cell Location Table (SGCLT), encrypting data using more than one key, renewing content, and/or filling empty sectors with encrypted data.
摘要:
An optical disc and an optical disc recording apparatus have an improved protection against undesired or illegal copying. Information on optical discs is arranged in sectors, which each has an address label. The address value of the address labels increases linearly from the start of the disc or from the start of the program area of the disc. The address labels of specific sectors, which may have an informationless content, are given different, e.g zero, address values, which prevent copying CD-ROM discs on a standard CD-Recorder apparatus. Said address labels may be stored in the main data stream or e.g. the subcode channel of a CD system.
摘要:
An optical disc including: sectors each having a sector ID; a first area having a first set of sectors sequentially arranged on the disc according to their respective IDs; a second area having a second set of sectors sequentially arranged on the disc according to their respective IDs, the second area being located after the first area in respect of a disc scan direction, the second area including all information needed for playback of the entire disc and having at least one sector ID which duplicates that of a sector in the first set of sectors.
摘要:
A machine-readable information carrier (2) contains content (video, audio, photographs, software, data; 20A; 20B) with restricted access, wherein at least one portion (23) of the content is a restricted portion. The information carrier (2) further contains data (21) associated with the said content, the data (21) representing a machine-executable access application which contains machine-executable instructions for a reader device (3, 3A) for controlling the reader device's access to the content of said carrier. The access application (21) is designed, when the reader device attempts an access to the restricted portion (23) of the content, to check authorization of the reader device, and to deny access to information in the said restricted portion (23) of the content if it finds that the reader device is unauthorized or to allow access to information in the said restricted portion (23) of the content if it finds that the reader device is authorized.
摘要:
An optical disc (11 to 18) having sectors (3) each having a sector ID further comprises: a first area (4) having a first set of sectors (313-315) sequentially arranged on the disc (11 to 18) according to their respective IDs, a second area (5) having a second set of sectors (316-318) sequentially arranged on the disc (11 to 18) according to their respective IDs, the second area (5) being located after the first area (4) in respect of a disc scan direction (B) and having at least one sector ID which duplicates that of a sector in the first set of sectors, a start sector (33) located before the first area (4), and navigation data indicating to an optical disc reader, after having read the start sector (33), to displace its pickup reader device to a first target sector (316, 317, 352) having a sector ID of one of the sectors of the second area (5) or of a sector located after the second area (5), wherein the number of sectors between the start sector (33) and the first target sector is chosen such that the optical disc reader jumps from the start sector (33) to the first target sector using a cross track mode.

The more effective is the copy protection provided on a DVD, the greater is the likelihood that the copy protection will adversely interfere with legitimate uses of the disc. In a disc where the content is arranged in physical sectors, it is now proposed to provide subversive regions on the disc having a similar structure to genuine regions. A subversive region and a genuine region will each extend over one or more physical sectors. The subversive region will be provided with physical sector addresses which coincide with addresses of the genuine region. Navigational data will ensure that it is the genuine, rather than the subversive, region which will be accessed during normal play, but the subversive region will effectively hide the genuine region during copying.
摘要:
Recording data to be recorded on an optical disc such as a DVD has at least one video title set having content data files having a video object data set, a video title set information file for the video title set and video manager information. The recording data also has a volume file system information having data relating to file identification for enabling location of content data files. In order to inhibit copying by a file-by-file copying apparatus data relating to file identification in the volume information for at least one of the content data files is caused to be incorrect, for example altered The incorrect information may be at least one of a file start address, a file length, incorrect error detection data, a pointer to a corrupt video title set information file rather than the correct video title set information file.
