INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM, RECORDING METHOD AND REPRODUCTION APPARATUS

摘要

When the data on a plurality of stories or scenes are recorded on a recording medium, a physical traveling distance of a pickup during a reproduction operation can be minimized, and the occurrence of intermittence and disorder of a reproduced picture can be prevented. A multistory picture program comprising pictures, voices and letters is recorded in which a plurality of arbitrarily selectable branch stories B0, B1, B2, B3 are provided between a branch point X at which a front trunk story branches and a connection point Y at which the front trunk story is connected to a rear trunk story. Between the branch point X and connection point Y, the story program is recorded with the branch stories divided into a plurality of cells by time-division multiplexing.
