Patent ID: 8792780

Claim:
A reproduction apparatus comprising: a reading unit which reads a first transport stream and a second transport stream from a recording medium, the first transport stream and the second transport stream being obtained by encoding a plurality of items of movie data by H.264 AVC/MVC, the first transport stream including a Base view video stream as a stream of picture data to which an MVC header including a view ID has not been added, the second transport stream including a Dependent view video stream as a stream of picture data to which the MVC header including the ID has been added; a first buffer which stores thereon a packet storing data of a first picture configuring the Base view video stream included in the first transport stream; a second buffer which stores thereon a packet storing data of a second picture configuring the Dependent view video stream included in the second transport stream; a selection unit which reads the packets storing the data of the first picture and the second picture, for which same DTS on the basis of same PCR has been set, respectively, from the first buffer and the second buffer; and a decoding unit which decodes the packet storing the data of the first picture, which has been read from the first buffer, to which the MVC header has not been added, and then decodes the packet storing the data of the second picture, which has been read from the second buffer, to which the MVC header has been added, after the decoding of the first picture.
