摘要

The object of the present invention is to provide a stereoscopic video and audio recording method, a stereoscopic video and audio recording medium, a stereoscopic video and audio reproducing method, a stereoscopic video and audio recording apparatus, and a stereoscopic video and audio reproducing apparatus. An audio information storage region for three-dimensional video is arranged in advance, separately from audio information for ordinary two-dimensional video, in a media recording format for recording stereoscopic video and audio. Therefore, when stereoscopic reproduction is selected, an audio can be reproduced with realistic sensation in a depth direction in sound-image processing or surround processing.
