Apparatus for reproducing data, method thereof, recording medium, apparatus for recording data and method thereof

Abstract

An apparatus for reproducing data, method thereof, recording medium, apparatus for recording data and method thereof are disclosed, by which a seamless reproduction between a plurality of contents within the recording medium can be implemented. A method for reproducing a plurality of contents within a recording medium successively, the method comprises first reproducing a first contents among the contents; allocating a buffer for seamless reproduction of a second contents in case that seamless information recorded on the recording medium indicates that the second contents is seamlessly reproduced after the first contents is reproduced; pre-loading the second contents from the recording medium to the buffer; and second reproducing the second contents pre-loaded in the buffer.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2006-0046973 filed May 25, 2006, which is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 699,404, filed July 15, 2005, and entitled "seamlessplayback mechanism in video player" by Jianshi Jin as the inventor , which application is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully described herein. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to an apparatus for reproducing data and a method thereof, a recording medium, an apparatus for recording data and a method thereof. Background technique [0004] In general, optical discs serving as recording media capable of recording a large amount of data are widely used. Recently, new high-density recording media such as Blu-ray Disc (hereinafter abbreviated as BD) or HD-DVD (High-Definition Digital Versatile Disc) have been developed for long-term...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, the high-density medium specification that manages the connection between the optical recording / reproducing apparatus and peripheral equipment and the association between the high-density recording medium and the storage that stores the data associated with the high-density recording medium has not been completed, which makes it difficult to develop optical recording / reproducing device

[0008] In particular, when continuously reproducing a plurality of contents in a high-density recording medium, any better method of realizing seamless reproduction between contents has not been known, and thus there is a lack of comprehensive development of a high-density recording medium based on an optical recording / reproducing device. many restrictions
