Abstract

DC60 (08/06/42) Storage media containing the following: an audio sequence including at least one audio stream, at least one video stream, and simulation control information for controlling the simulation of at least one audio stream and at least one video stream. Simulation control information includes simulation command information that specifies the commands of at least one video stream during the simulation of at least one video stream stored on the storage media, which is then replicated in a manner corresponding to the audio sequence.

Claims (5)

1. An optical disc containing the audio zone segment (32c) which stores a number of audio sequences and the management information (ATSI) for managing the copying of each audio sequence. Each audio sequence contains at least one audio destination (AOB). The management information (ATSI) contains the copy sequence information (ATS_PGCI) which identifies at least one audio destination (AOB) copy sequence contained in each audio sequence. Each audio destination (AOB) contains at least one group, and each group contains audio data and the first timing information (PTS) which identifies the output timing of the audio data. Specifically, the audio zone segment (32C) also stores at least one video destination (P_VOB), each video destination (P_VOB) containing still image data. The management information (ATSI) also contains the still image copy information (ATS_ASV_PBI) which identifies at least one video destination (P_VOB) to be copied in relation to the audio data. Make copies of a number of identical audio sequences and a second timing data (DLIST) that indicates the output timing of at least one video signal destination (P_VOB), which is indicated by still image copying data (ATS_ASV_PBI). 2. The optical disc under claim 1, where the Management Information (ATSI) also contains Display State Information (ASV_DMOD) indicating one of two states: State One (Friend Display) and State Two (Passable), in which at least one video signal destination (P_VOB) is copied at a different timing than the copying of the same audio sequence in State Two. 3. Optical disc under claim 2 where, when the Display Condition Data (ASV_DMOD) indicates the presence of Condition One, the Second Timing Data (DLIST) indicates the timing when the Display Destination Signal (P_VOB) is updated; and when the Display Condition Data (ASV_DMOD) indicates the presence of Condition Two, the Second Timing Data (DLIST) indicates the timing when the Display Destination Signal (P_VOB) is running continuously. 4. A duplicator for copying data stored on the optical disc as per claim 1, which shall consist of a read section for reading at least one audio destination (AOB), at least one video destination (P_VOB), and the management information (ATSI) from the optical disc; a copy section for copying at least one audio destination (AOB) and at least one video destination (P_VOB); and a controller for controlling the read and copy sections, where the controller shall control the read and copy sections so that at least one audio destination (AOB) in its corresponding audio sequence is read and copied according to the copy sequence information (ATSI_PGCI) contained in the management information (ATSI); and the controller shall control the read and copy sections so that at least one video destination (P_VOB) in its corresponding audio sequence is read and copied according to the still image copy information (STS_ASV_PBI) contained in the management information (STSI). 5. The duplicator under claim 4, in which the duplication section consists of an audio duplication section (104,99,100) for decoding at least one audio destination (AOB) and producing an audio output signal based on the decoding result; a still image duplication section (103,96,87) for decoding at least one video destination (P_VOB) and producing a video output signal based on the decoding result; and a timing section (102) for timing the video output signal from the still image duplication section to match the audio output signal from the audio duplication section. The audio duplication section sends the audio data contained in the audio destination to be duplicated, based on the output timing indicated by the first timing data contained in the audio destination to be duplicated. The control section sends the second timing data containing the corresponding video destination to the timing section (102). The timing section (102) instructs the still image duplication section to output the video signal based on the output timing indicated by the second timing data to match the audio output signal from the audio duplication section.
