RECORDING MEDIUM, PLAYBACK DEVICE AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H04S1/00 H04N13/04 G11B7/00 

FIELD: physics, computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to the technology of playing back stereoscopic video and particularly to selection of a video stream on a recording medium. The playback device for playing back video from a recording medium includes a reading unit configured to read a plurality of base-view stream file extents and dependent-view stream file extent after extent. The base-view stream file is used for monoscopic video playback, and the dependent-view stream file is used for stereoscopic video playback in combination with the base-view stream file. The recording medium has a stereoscopic/monoscopic common area, a stereoscopic special area and a monoscopic area. The stereoscopic/monoscopic common area is a continuous area in which a plurality of extents belonging to the base-view stream file and a plurality of extents belonging to the dependent-view stream file are recorded using an interleaving method, wherein the interleaved plurality of extents recorded in the stereoscopic/monoscopic common area are first extents.

EFFECT: high efficiency of using storage for a playback device by reducing buffer capacity needed for stereoscopic playback.
