Recording medium, playback apparatus and method, recording method, and computer-readable program
First Claim
1. A non-transitory recording medium having recorded thereon a video stream and a graphics stream, wherein:
- the video stream represents a moving picture made up of a plurality of pictures;
the graphics stream is used for overlaying a menu on the moving picture, and includes interactive control information and graphics data;
the graphics data is used for generating both the menu and an effect presented for introducing or removing the menu;
the interactive control information includes a plurality of pieces of composition information defining a sequence of display compositions of graphics constituting the effect;
each piece of composition information shows (i) a bounding area on a graphics plane within which a respective display composition is rendered and (ii) a duration after which the display composition is replaced by a subsequent display composition to be rendered within the same bounding area; and
the duration is determined based on a value calculated by dividing the size of the bounding area by a transfer rate of a playback apparatus.

Abstract
A BD-ROM stores a video stream and a graphics stream. The video stream represents a moving picture. The graphics stream is used for overlaying one or more menus on the moving picture, and includes interactive control information (ICS) and a plurality of pieces of graphics data (ODSs). The graphics data is used to generate both the menus and an effect for introduction or removal of a menu. The interactive control information includes (i) a reference value (window_id_ref) specifying a window within which each display composition of graphics is rendered for presenting the effect and (ii) information (effect_duration) showing a duration after which a display composition is replaced by a subsequent display composition.

3. A non-transitory recording medium having recorded thereon a video stream and a graphics stream, wherein:
-
the video stream represents a moving picture made up of a plurality of pictures; the graphics stream is used for overlaying a menu on the moving picture, and includes interactive control information and graphics data; the graphics data is used for generating both the menu and an effect presented for introducing or removing the menu; the interactive control information includes a plurality of pieces of composition information defining a sequence of display compositions of graphics constituting the effect; each piece of composition information shows (i) a bounding area on a graphics plane within which a respective display composition is rendered and (ii) a duration after which the display composition is replaced by a subsequent display composition to be rendered within the same bounding area; and when the effect is an in-effect to be presented preceding the menu, a set of graphics data associated with the in-effect is located in a string of the graphics data before a set of graphics data associated with the menu; the interactive control information is encapsulated in a packet; and a timestamp attached to the packet shows a time for starting playback of the in-effect.

4. A method for recording onto a non-transitory recording medium, comprising:
-
generating application data using an authoring device; and recording the application data onto the recording medium, wherein; the application data includes a video stream and a graphics stream; the graphics stream is used for overlaying a menu on the moving picture, and includes interactive control information and graphics data; the graphics data is used for generating both the menu and an effect presented for introducing or removing the menu; the interactive control information includes menu information and time information showing a time period during which the menu is to be presented; the menu information includes button information and effect information; the effect information defines the effect for introducing or removing the menu and includes a plurality of pieces of composition information defining a sequence of display compositions of graphics constituting the effect; each piece of composition information shows (i) a bounding area on a graphics plane within which a respective display composition is rendered and (ii) a duration after which the display composition is replaced by a subsequent display composition to be rendered within the same bounding area, and the duration is determined based on a value calculated by dividing the size of the boundin area b a transfer rate of a playback apparatus.
