A multimedia optical disc for recording main video data which is composed
of sets of frame data that is processed beforehand to allow compatibility
with displays of a plurality of aspect ratios. The disc has a stream area
storing streams made up of the main video data and a plurality of sets of
sub-picture data, with each set of sub-picture data including a set of
tel-op data and a set of coordinate information showing a display position
of the set of tel-op data. The disc also includes a control area storing a
plurality of pairings of a set of display mode information and a set of
sub-picture indicating information. Each set of display mode information
shows a species of display method according to which the frame data is to
be processed for a case when the frame data decoded from the main video
data is displayed at one of the plurality of aspect ratios. Each set of
sub-picture indicating information shows a set of sub-picture data, out of
the plurality of sets of sub-picture data in a same stream as the main
video data, which includes a set of coordinate information which coincides
with the species of display method shown by the display mode information.
