Abstract

The present invention provides a medium for storing a subtitle data structure of an audio/video program and a method for displaying the same. The subtitle data structure of the audio/video program includes a plurality of character packages and a background image package, wherein each character package further has a header that includes the start and the end of a presenting time stamp (PTS), X-Y coordinates of the character, X length, Y length and a color (or colors) of the character, as well as pixel data for displaying the character. Compared with prior art, using the subtitle data structure of the present invention can considerably save the required medium capacity for storing the subtitle data.
