Information reproducing system, information recording/reproducing system, and recording medium applicable to the system

摘要

In an information recording medium on which video information can be recorded, control information 78 is stored in its data area 76. Following the control information 78, a video object 82 to be reproduced is stored. The control information 78 includes playback interrupt information 124 for resuming playback during the interruption of playback. An area for the process is provided. This makes it possible to reproduce the picture next time where the playback was interrupted, referring to the playback interrupt information 124. Consequently, even when the disk is removed from the video-recordable reproducing system, reinstalling the disk into the system makes it possible to play back the disk where the playback was interrupted.
