Abstract:
1. A playback device for playing back a video stream in accordance with playlist information, comprising: a reading unit operable to read out a transport stream file from a recording medium, the transport stream file being identified by file reference information included in the playlist information; a decoder operable to obtain non-compressed picture data by decoding compressed picture data that is included in a video stream stored in the read-out transport stream file; a mode register storing an output mode of the playback device; and an output unit operable to output the obtained non-compressed picture data in accordance with the output mode stored in the mode register, wherein when the output mode is a planar-view output mode, the reading unit reads out a normal-format transport stream file that is identified by a combination of (i) the file reference information included in the playlist information and (ii) a file extension indicating that video streams are stored in a normal manner, and when the output mode is a stereoscopic-view output mode, the reading unit reads out an interleaved transport stream file that is identified by a combination of (i) the file reference information included in the playlist information and (ii) a file extension indicating that video streams are stored in an interleaved manner.
