RECORDING MEDIUM CAPABLE OF RECORDING PROGRESSIVE PICTURES AT HIGH FRAME RATE, REPRODUCTION DEVICE, RECORDING DEVICE, REPRODUCTION METHOD, AND RECORDING METHOD

摘要

Video streams, control programs, and an index table are recorded on a recording medium. The video streams include a progressive-picture video stream and an interlaced-picture video stream, and the frame rates for the video stream constructed from progressive pictures include a mandatory rate and an optional rate. The index table indicates the association between a plurality of titles and the control programs. A control program associated with a first play title and top menu title from among the titles excludes, from a reproduction target, a reproduction route with which pictures are progressive pictures and the frame rate is the optional frame rate, and instructs reproduction by way of a different reproduction route.
