Data structure, recording medium, playing device and playing method, and program

摘要

The present invention relates to a data structure, a recording medium, a playing device and a playing method, and a program, which enable providing of a video format for 3D display, suitable for 3D display of subtitles and menu buttons.;Subtitle data for the left eye and subtitle data for the right eye which are used for 3D display of subtitles is recorded in a disc 501 in increments of epochs. The structures of epochs of subtitle data for the left eye and subtitle data for the right eye to be played simultaneously are the same. That is to say, the number of display sets making up an epoch of subtitle data for the left eye, and the number of display sets making up an epoch of subtitle data for the right eye, that are to be played simultaneously, are the same. The present invention can be applied to a disc for 3D display.

主权项

1. A reproduction apparatus comprising:
a reading unit; and an output unit, wherein when data with a data structure in which image data on an L image for a left eye and an R image for a right eye as sub images in increments of screens, which is used in 3D (3 Dimensional) display of the sub images including captions and a menu button, is included, and the image data of the L image in increments of screens and the image data of the R image in increments of screens respectively include a same number of PDSs (Palette Definition Segments), with the number of ODSs (Objective Definition Segments) respectively included in the image data of each of the L and R images being different, is reproduced, the reading unit reads the image data on the L image and the R image in increments of screens, which are contained in the data, and the output unit generates the L image and the R image in increments of screens based on the same number of PDSs, with the number of ODSs respectively included in the image data of each of the L and R images being different, the generated L and R images being respectively included in the image data of the L image in increments of screens and the image data of the R image in increments of screens, which have been read by the reading unit, and outputs the generated L image and the R image.
