Claims
- 1. A machine readable information recording medium having a bitstream carrying machine readable information, said machine readable information recording medium comprising:a plurality of video packets, each of said plurality of video packets carrying encoded video data of one video frame in a compressed manner; a plurality of audio packets, each of said plurality of audio packets carrying encoded audio data of one audio frame in a compressed manner, wherein the one audio frame is different in time length from the one video frame; and a navigation pack having audio gap information operable to indicate a duration of an audio discontinuous part appearing in decoded audio data during audio presentation.
- 2. A machine readable information recording medium as claimed in claim 1, wherein the one audio frame is shorter in time length than the one video frame.
- 3. A machine readable information recording medium as claimed in claim 1, wherein said plurality of video packets and said plurality of audio packets are contained in a single bit stream.
- 4. A machine readable information recording medium as claimed in claim 1, wherein the one audio frame and the one video frame are reproduced in a synchronized manner.
- 5. A machine readable information recording medium as claimed in claim 1, wherein said navigation pack further has time position information operable to indicate a time at which the audio discontinuous part is located.
- 6. A machine readable information recording medium as claimed in claim 1, wherein the audio discontinuous part is shorter than the one audio frame.
- 7. A reproducing apparatus for reproducing a machine readable information recording medium as claimed in claim 1, said reproducing apparatus comprising:a reading arrangement device operable to read the navigation pack from the machine readable information recording medium to detect the audio gap information and operable to read the plurality of video packets and the plurality of audio packets; a video decoder operable to decode the plurality of video packets to produce decoded video data for video presentation; an audio decoder operable to decode the plurality of audio packets to produce decoded audio data for audio presentation; and a controller operable to control said reading arrangement device, said video decoder, and said audio decoder, wherein said controller is operable to control said audio decoder to suspend the audio decoding for the duration of the audio discontinuous part indicated by the audio gap information.
- 8. A reproducing method for reproducing a machine readable information recording medium as claimed in claim 1, said reproducing method comprising:reading the navigation pack from the machine readable information recording medium to detect the audio gap information, and reading the plurality of video packets and the plurality of audio packets; decoding the plurality of video packets to produce decoded video data for video presentation; decoding the plurality of audio packets to produce decoded audio data for audio presentation; and suspending the audio decoding for the duration of the audio discontinuous part indicated by the audio gap information.
- 9. A machine readable information recording medium as claimed in claim 1, wherein said plurality of video packets, said plurality of audio packets, and said navigation pack are contained in a single bit stream.
- 10. A machine readable information recording medium having a bitstream carrying machine readable information, said machine readable information recording medium comprising:a plurality of system streams, wherein one of said plurality of system streams comprises: a plurality of video packets, each of said plurality of video packets carrying encoded video data of one video frame in a compressed manner; a plurality of audio packets, each of said plurality of audio packets carrying encoded audio data of one audio frame in a compressed manner, wherein the one audio frame is different in time length from the one video frame, and wherein a total presentation time of said plurality of video packets is different in time length from a total presentation time of said plurality of audio packets; and a navigation pack having audio gap information operable to indicate a duration of an audio discontinuous part appearing in decoded audio data during audio presentation.
