Abstract

An optical disc that is reproducible by a reproducing apparatus has a still picture data and an audio data which are reproduced simultaneously. The still picture data is stored in a video part stream (ST1) comprising a plurality of units, and the audio data is stored in a second system stream (ST2) comprising one or a plurality of units. The units store time stamp information so that the second system stream (ST2) follows immediately after the video part stream (ST1). By changing the data in the second system stream (ST2), the audio data presented with a still picture can be freely and easily changed even after recording the still picture data using an MPEG standard format.
