Abstract
The main controller makes the designated non-volatile memory store the restart point equivalent to the preceding stop point, and in starting reproduction processing, the main controller reads out the restart point from the designated non-volatile memory and starts reproducing video images from the restart point. Thus, the main controller can restart next reproduction from the preceding stop point, even when once a user takes out an optical disc from an optical disc apparatus, and loads the optical disc apparatus with the same optical disc again, or even when a user transfers the optical disc from one optical disc apparatus to another optical disc apparatus, whether or not the optical disc is rewritable.
