Patent ID: 8139925

Claim:
A non-transitory recording medium, comprising: a main-view stream used for monoscopic video playback, a plurality of main-view data blocks formed from the main-view stream; a sub-view stream used for stereoscopic video playback in combination with the main-view stream, a plurality of sub-view data blocks formed from the sub-view stream; 2D management information used in monoscopic video playback; and 3D management information used in stereoscopic video playback, wherein a common data area includes one or more of the plurality of main-view data blocks and one or more of the plurality of sub-view data blocks, wherein a 2D data area includes one or more of the plurality of main-view data blocks, wherein a 3D data area includes one or more of the plurality of main-view data blocks and one or more of the plurality of sub-view data blocks, wherein the 2D management information refers to the one or more of the plurality of main-view data blocks included in the common data area and the one or more of the plurality of main-view data blocks included in the 2D data area, wherein the 3D management information refers to the one or more of the plurality of main-view data blocks included in the common data area and the one or more of the plurality of main-view data blocks included in the 3D data area, wherein the 2D management information does not refer to the one or more of the plurality of main-view data blocks included in the 3D data area, wherein the 3D management information does not refer to the one or more of the plurality of main-view data blocks included in the 2D data area, wherein the 2D data area is accessed immediately before a long jump that occurs in monoscopic video playback, wherein the 3D data area is accessed immediately before a long jump that occurs in stereoscopic video playback, wherein the recording medium has the common data area, the 2D data area, and the 3D data area arranged continuously in this order, and wherein the one or more of the plurality of main-view data blocks included in the 2D data area and the one or more of the plurality of main-view data blocks included in the 3D data area are identical in content.
