Abstract

Information carrier, device for reading and device for providing the information carrier and method of transmitting picture information.The disclosed system comprises an information carrier (1) on which an information signal is recorded that represents picture information intended for being displayed on a picture screen, which picture information comprises video information of a video programme as well as control information for selectively displaying the video programme. The video programme is subdivided into sections (35) and, when the video programme is displayed selectively, sections are shown in a new order (34) and partly omitted or replaced. To this end the control information includes path information (36) which indicates a path of sections to be displayed in linked fashion. The path information may be recorded multiplexed with MPEG-2 video information and then contains addresses (53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59) for forward and backward jumps.
