Information record medium, apparatus for recording the same and apparatus for reproducing the same

An information recording medium comprising:

• a plurality of processed partial record information pieces, each corresponding to a predetermined reproduction time interval;
• and
• search reproduction control information including time information indicating a reproduction time when each of said processed partial record information pieces is to be reproduced, and including search information indicating addresses of other processed partial record information pieces,
• wherein said processed partial record information pieces and said search reproduction control information are multiplexed in order to form a plurality of multiplexed partial record information,
• wherein at least one of said multiplexed partial record information includes video information containing still picture information which is a subject to still picture reproduction, and
• wherein in a case when said reproduction time during which said still picture reproduction is to be performed is included in said predetermined reproduction time interval, said multiplexed partial record information corresponding to said reproduction time of said still picture reproduction contains no video information.

An information reproducing apparatus for reproducing information recorded on an information recording medium comprising a plurality of processed partial record information pieces, each corresponding to a predetermined reproduction time interval, and search reproduction control information including time information indicating a reproduction time when each of the processed partial record information pieces is to be reproduced, and including search information indicating addresses of other processed partial record information pieces, wherein said processed partial record information pieces and said search reproduction control information are multiplexed in order to form a plurality of multiplexed partial record information, said apparatus comprising:

• detection and demodulation means for detecting and demodulating information recorded on said information recording medium, thereby obtaining a demodulation signal;
• extracting means for extracting said search reproduction control information from said demodulation signal;
• and
• control means for controlling reproduction of information based on said extracted search reproduction control information,
• wherein at least one of said multiplexed partial record information includes video information containing still picture information which is a subject to still picture reproduction, and
• wherein in a case when said reproduction time during which said still picture reproduction is to be performed is included in said predetermined reproduction time interval, said multiplexed partial record information corresponding to said reproduction time of said still picture reproduction contains no video information.
