Abstract
In addition to image information recorded in a disc, “n” pcs. of selection lists which have their own proper numbers are recorded on the disc. Also, an address list of information stored outside of the disc is recorded on the disc. Each selection list has addresses of inside information of the image information recorded on the disc, one or more selection numbers, and their corresponding selection lists. The address list has selection list identification numbers and addresses corresponding to the selection list identification numbers. During the regular playback operation—playing back the image information recorded on the disc—when a user gives an instruction of selecting outside information, the user can get the address of the outside information from the now used selection list by retrieving the address list.
