Reproducing apparatus and method, and recording medium

Abstract

A reproducing apparatus and method includes a reproducing unit to reproduce mainstream data and sub audio data separately added in the mainstream data, wherein the reproducing unit comprises a counter used in reproducing the sub audio data. Accordingly, it is possible to more naturally reproduce still image data, such as a browsable slide show, to which sub audio data is additionally included, thus preventing an interruption in reproduction of the sub audio data even during a forward or reverse play.

1 . A reproducing method comprising: 
 reproducing sub audio data, separately added into mainstream data, using a clock reproducing the sub audio data.    
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the reproducing sub audio data depacketizes the sub audio data using a first clock depacketizing the sub audio data.  
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the reproducing sub audio data further comprises decoding the sub audio data using a second clock decoding the depacketized sub audio data.  
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the mainstream data comprises still image data.  
   
   
       5 . A reproducing method comprising: 
 reproducing mainstream data comprising still image data using a first clock reproducing the mainstream data; and    reproducing sub audio data, which is separately added in the mainstream data, using a second clock reproducing the sub audio data.    
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the reproducing mainstream data comprises: 
 depacketizing the mainstream data using an arrival time clock depacketizing the mainstream data; and    decoding the mainstream data using a system time clock decoding the depacketized mainstream data.    
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 6 , further comprising: 
 demultiplexing the depacketized mainstream data prior to decoding the mainstream data.    
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the reproducing sub audio data comprises: 
 depacketizing the sub audio data using an arrival time clock depacketizing the sub audio data;    decoding the sub audio data using a system time clock decoding the depacketized sub audio data.
