| 1. A machine readable information storage medium embodied as a recordable optical disc for access by an optical disc drive,
wherein a track is formed on the medium, said track being configured to have data recorded thereon and data reproduced therefrom
by an information recording/reproducing apparatus including the optical disc drive, said data including VOB data representing
video object data, and control information, the information storage medium comprising:
a data area storing a plurality of ECC blocks including the VOB data, said VOB data being configured to have at least one
of video object units wherein a predetermined number of sectors form each of the ECC blocks, each of the sectors has a predetermined
size, and the predetermined number of said sectors relates to an ECC block address, and
a control information recording area storing the control information, the control information being configured to control
or manage the VOB data and including movie file information table M_AVFIT having a first area configured to store movie VOB
stream information M_VOB_STI and a second area configured to store movie AV file information M_AVFI describing information
on said data area for the VOB data, said M_AVFI including a movie VOB information search pointer M_VOBI_SRP associated with
movie VOB information M_VOBI, wherein
said M_VOBI includes time map information TMAPI including time map general information TMAP_GI, one or more time entries TM_ENTs,
and one or more video object unit entries VOBU_ENTs,
each said VOBU_ENT includes playback time information VOBU_PB_TM of a corresponding video object unit VOBU of the video object
units and size information VOBU_SZ of the corresponding VOBU,
each said TM_ENT includes numeral information VOBU_ENTN on a corresponding video object unit entry VOBU_ENT of the video object
unit entries,
said control information includes a still picture AV file information table S_AVFIT describing information on a still picture
AV file, a text data manager TXTDT_MG for managing text data, and a manufacturer's information table MNFIT relating to manufacturer's
information,
said control information further includes original program chain information ORG_PGCI representing an original program chain
ORG_PGC and a user defined program chain information table UD_PGCIT containino user defined program chain information UD_PGCI
representing a user detined program chain UD_PGC, said ORG_PGCI or said UD_PGCI representing a presentation sequence of cells,
said control information describes the movic AV file information table M_AVFIT, the still picture AV file information table
S_AVFIT, the original prouram chain information ORG_PGCI, the user defined program chain information table UD_PGCIT, the text
data manager TXTDT_MG, and the manufacturer's information table MNFIT in this order, and
a transmission rate of 11.08 Mbps is defined to assure or guarantee a continuity of playback of the VOB data.
