Patent ID: 8164619

Claim:
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium on which a main-view stream, a sub-view stream, and management information are recorded, the main-view stream having multiplexed therein a main-view video stream that constitutes main views of stereoscopic video images, the sub-view stream having multiplexed therein a sub-view video stream that constitutes sub-views of stereoscopic video images, the sub-view video stream encoded with reference to the main-view video stream, the management information including a system rate of each of the main-view stream and the sub-view stream, the non-transitory computer-readable recording medium including a long jump region that is one of a region having at least a predetermined number of sectors and a region having a layer boundary, the main-view stream divided and arranged into a plurality of main-view data blocks, the sub-view stream divided and arranged into a plurality of sub-view data blocks, the non-transitory computer-readable recording medium including a plurality of extent blocks, each of the extent blocks having main-view data blocks and sub-view data blocks in a continuous interleaved arrangement and being referred to as a single extent when stereoscopic video images are played back, each extent block having a sub-view data block at the top of the extent block and including at least one pair of a sub-view data block and a main-view data block, a first extent block to be read immediately before a second extent block or immediately after a third extent block, a main-view data block and a sub-view data block constituting a single pair in the first extent block and each having a maximum size that is determined by the following factors: the system rate of the sub-view stream; whether the single pair is at the top of the first extent block; and whether the long jump region exists between recording areas of the first extent block and the second extent block, or between recording areas of the first extent block and the third extent block.
