Abstract:
1. A generating apparatus that generates, based on a first volume image for a first disc, a second volume image for a second disc, the generating apparatus comprising: a conversion unit operable to convert first scenario data written under a first scenario-description scheme for the first disc, into second scenario data written under a second scenario-description scheme for the second disc; and a formatting unit operable to obtain the second volume image that contains a digital stream and the second scenario data that has been obtained by the conversion unit, wherein the stream contained in the first volume image and the digital stream contained in the second volume image respectively are paired with corresponding path information to constitute a title, the first scenario data and the second scenario data are respectively a jump table that a playback apparatus refers to when jump is performed from an entire menu of the corresponding disc to the corresponding title, the first scenario-description scheme allows two jump tables, a first table for the entire first disc and a second table that is created for a domain that the title belongs to, and the conversion performed by the conversion unit is to replace the first and second tables with one jump table for the entire second disc.
