Access point pictures designated as randomly accessible positions are I pictures or P pictures. Information indicating the decoding sequence (I, P, B, B, B, B, P, . . . ) of pictures functioning as access points and attribute information (picture_type) indicating whether a picture functions as an access point or is necessary for decoding of the access point following a given access point are recorded on the video information recording medium. Random access is possible even if the GOP interval is lengthened.

Randomly accessible visual information recording medium and recording method, and reproducing device and reproducing method

In a recording medium on which is recorded a multiplexed stream including a plurality of first packets (V_main) constituting a first I-picture in a first video stream and a plurality of second packets (V_sub) constituting a second I-picture in a second video stream, information for identifying the first I-picture and information for identifying the second I-picture are recorded on the medium. A recording medium can thereby be obtained that enables the rapid detection, from a small amount of information, of a particular picture included in a stream such as a TS in which multiple content streams are multiplexed.

Recording medium, reproducing apparatus, and reproducing method

Access point pictures designated as randomly accessible positions are I pictures or P pictures. Information indicating the decoding sequence (I1, P1, B1, B2, B3, B4, P2, . . . ) of pictures functioning as access points and attribute information (picture_type) indicating whether a picture functions as an access point or is necessary for decoding of the access point following a given access point are recorded on the video information recording medium. Random access is possible even if the GOP interval is lengthened.

In a system for visualizing a stereoscopic image by displaying separate video images for the left and right eyes, sub-picture data (GRD) is created for the left eye and displayed superimposed on left-eye video data (VDD) as a left-eye sub-picture without change. The right-eye sub-picture () is displayed by shifting the horizontal positions at which the sub-picture data created for the left eye is displayed by prescribed widths. For example, the sub picture may include a plurality of objects (GRD-, GRD-, . . . , GRD-N); shift widths () of the horizontal positions of the left and right ends of the objects are individually set and stored in the sub-picture data for displaying the objects for the right eye. A sub-picture superimposed on a stereoscopic video image can thereby be rendered in the depth direction, and the data size of the sub-picture and the amount of computation required for its display can be reduced.

A content assessment apparatus, content assessment method, information reproducing apparatus, and information recording medium are provided that can determine whether digital content has been processed abnormally. The information reproducing apparatus includes a drive () that reads content from an information recording medium () on which content including an electronic watermark, indicating an attribute denoting whether or not the content is encrypted, is recorded, a decryptor (), a decryptor status monitor (), a stream attribute monitor (), a decision means () that determines that the content has been abnormally processed when a decryption status signal indicates otherwise than that decryption processing is being performed and an attribute detection signal indicates that the content is encrypted, or when the decryption status signal indicates that decryption processing is being performed and the attribute detection signal indicates that the content is non-encrypted, a video decoder (), and an output control means () that is not allowed to output the video signal if the content has been abnormally processed.
