摘要

A method of recording and reproducing picture information, a recording medium on which the picture information is recorded, and an apparatus for playing such a recording medium are disclosed. A video format signal and a coded information signal are recorded in a first area of the recording medium. Graphic codes including picture information occupying at least one channel in a channel group of N (N being a natural number equal to or greater than 2) channels are inserted as a subcode in the coded information signal. Identification code information of at least one channel is recorded in a second area of the recording medium. When the recording medium is played, the identification code information is displayed and a picture signal corresponding to the graphic code occupying a channel designated by a picture channel command for designating one channel in the channel group is mixed with the video format signal.
