Video production apparatus and video reproduction method

摘要

In a video reproduction apparatus, OSD data indicative of information about a title and chapters are superposed on a video accompanied by captions serving as a sub-video. The display position of a caption is first determined, then a position at which the OSD data should be displayed is set so as not to overlap with the caption. In the first display pattern, the caption-display position is located nearest to the lower side of the screen, while the OSD-display position nearest to the upper side thereof. In the second display pattern, the caption-display position is located nearest to the upper side of the screen, while the OSD-display position nearest to the lower side thereof. In the third display pattern, the caption-display position is located nearest to the right side of the screen, while the OSD-display position nearest to the left side thereof. Accordingly, both caption and OSD data can be seen with no obstacles, providing video display with superior visibility.
