PURPOSE: An Information storage medium storing still picture, a reproducing apparatus and a method therefor are provided to synchronize the still image data with the audio data in a slide show mode and play the audio data without discontinuity in a browsable slide show mode by storing two modes for the playback of the still image data and using the two modes for the playback. CONSTITUTION: A system clock counter(810) generates a system clock increasing a value by each unit time. Reading a playback time of a still image data file from the information storing medium storing the still image data files and the still image data clips including the information for the playback mode and the playback time of each still image data file, a reader(820) reads the still image data that the playback time is identical with the system clock. A video decoder(830) decodes the still image data while a system clock value is a value within the playback time of the still image data. A data output part(850) outputs the decoded still image data.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An optical disc having tracking polarity data, and its recording and regenerating system and method are provided to record tacking polarity data and reflectivity data at a BCA area in order to avoid a trial and error process in getting those data so that it records user data directly at a data area. CONSTITUTION: The method comprises several steps. An optical disc is loaded into a disk drive(801). An optical pickup, installed in the disk drive, extracts tracking polarity data from a BCA area(802). Then the disc drive performs a tracking process without a trial and error based on the extracted tracking polarity data, and records user data at a data area or regenerates the user data(803). In other words, the pickup offers the extracted tracking polarity data to the disc drive, and the disc drive controls the pickup based on the offered data in order to record the user data or regenerate the recorded user data.

PURPOSE: A data storage media, and its regenerating system and method are provided to properly present a markup document by controlling a buffering state of the markup document though part of a pre-load target file is not completely pre-loaded. CONSTITUTION: The method comprises several steps. A buffering process is performed in order to pre-load a markup document. It is judged whether the buffering process is finished. Accordingly, in a case that AV data stored at a DVD is regenerated and the AD data and its related markup documents are displayed via a markup document, the buffering state of the markup document can be checked. So when the markup document can not be buffered because a disc is physically damaged or a network is not connected, a substitute markup document can be used or a natural document pass-over operation can be performed.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A data storage media, and its regenerating system and method are provided to properly present a markup document by controlling a buffering state of the markup document though some of a pre-load target file is not completely pre-loaded. CONSTITUTION: The data regenerating system comprises a buffer, a buffer manager(51) and a contents decoder(52). The buffer buffers a markup document. The buffer manager(51) manages the buffer, and pre-loads the markup document at the buffer. The contents decoder(52) calls the markup document buffered at the buffer, analyzes the called markup document, and decodes the markup document. The buffer manager(51) notifies the contents decoder(52) that the pre-load process is finished. Accordingly, in a case that AV data stored at a DVD is regenerated and the AD data and its related markup documents are displayed via a markup document, the buffering state of the markup document is checked. So when the markup document can not be buffered because a disc is physically damaged or a network is not connected, a substitute markup document is used or a natural document pass-over operation is performed.

PURPOSE: A data storage media, and its regenerating system and method are provided to properly present a markup document by controlling a buffering state of the markup document though some of a pre-load target file is not completely pre-loaded. CONSTITUTION: The storage media comprises AV(Audio Video) data, plural markup documents, and control data. The markup documents regenerate the AV data in an interactive mode. The control data is for checking buffering state data of the markup documents needed to regenerate the AV data in an interactive mode. Accordingly, in a case that AV data stored at a DVD is regenerated and the AD data and its related markup documents are displayed via a markup document, the buffering state of the markup document is checked. So when the markup document is not buffered because a disc is physically damaged or a network is not connected, a substitute markup document is used or a natural document pass-over operation is performed.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A disc defect management method and system is provided to manage a defect though there occurs a defect at a write once disc while data is being recorded at the disc by arranging a defect management area either at a lead-in area or a lead-out area of the disc. CONSTITUTION: The method comprises several steps. A data recording system stores defect data for recorded data as the first defect data at a defect management area according to the first recording operation(1101). The data recording system stores management data for managing the first defect management data as the first defect management data at the defect management area(1102). The steps 1001 and 1002 are repeated while an ordinal number added to a recording operation, the defect data and the defect management data is increased until all the vacant space is filled at the defect management area(1103, 1104). In a case that there is no more vacant space at the defect management area, a user is notified that the defect management operation can not be performed any more(1103, 1105).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A defect management method using a temporary defect information region and a temporary defect information management region, a recording apparatus and a disc are provided to process a defect generated on a disc even when information is recorded on the disc. CONSTITUTION: Defect information about data, which is recorded in a data region according to the first recording operation, is recorded in the data region as the first temporary defect information(801). The first temporary defect information and defect information about data, which is recorded in the data region according to the second recording operation, are recorded in the data region as the second temporary defect information(802). Defect management information for respectively managing the first temporary defect information region and the second temporary defect information region is recorded in a temporary defect management information region provided in at least one of a read-in region and a read-out region(803).
