A method for sequentially displaying information of an interactive information recording medium, said method comprising the steps of:
- i) reading disc information data which are recorded on a video compact disc;
- ii) reading user's controlling files to store the user's controlling files in a storing means when the video compact disc is the interactive information recording medium, the user's controlling files including a play sequence descriptor file;
- iii) initializing an offset of the play sequence descriptor file when a sequence information play mode is selected by a user;
- iv) setting a play time according to a selection of playback modes, and setting a waiting time to be "0";
- v) multiplying the initialized offset in the step iii) by a first number, to obtain a mutilplied value;
- vi) reading an offset header from the play sequence descriptor files;
- vii) reading out a play item number which is defined in a selection list, when the current list of the video compact disc is the selection list not a play list;
- viii) initializing a selection item number of a counter, and setting a counting time of the counter to a first time;
- ix) reproducing a selection item which is defined in the selection list;
- x) judging whether or not the selection item number is larger than a total selection item number recorded in the selection list;
- xi) increasing the selection item number by a second number when the selection item number is not larger than the total selection item number;
- xii) reading an offset of the increased selection item number in the selection list as an offset of a first selection item selected;
- xiii) judging whether or not the offset of a first selection item is a reproduced offset, if a most significant bit of the offset of a first selection item is a third number in a binary number so that the offset of the first selection item is judged as the reproduced offset, returning to the step x) , and if the most significant bit of the offset of a first selection item is a fourth number in a binary number so that the offset of the first selection item is judged as the non-reproduced offset, logically OR-combining the offset of the first selection item and a fifth number to obtain a reproduced offset;
- xiv) logically AND-combining the reproduced offset and a sixth number to return the original offset of the first selection item, and returning to the step v);
- xv) reading out a play item number which is defined in the play list, when the current list of the video compact disc is the play list;
- xvi) initializing a play item number of the counter, and setting a counting time of the counter to be the first time;
- xvii) reproducing a play item which is defined in the play list;
- xviii) increasing the counted play item number by a seventh number;
- xix) judging whether or not the increased play item number is larger than a total play item number recorded in the play list;
- and
- xx) when the increased play item number is not larger than the total play item number recorded in the play list, returning to the step xv), and when the increased play item number is larger than the total play item number recorded in the play list, judging whether or not a next offset is in the play list.
