A read processing method and a reproduction system for continuously reading out
an audio/visual data from a storage medium. When a data cannot be read out from
storage medium, a data having a predetermined pattern is transferred so as to prevent
operational deadlock caused by an error data even when the audio/visual data is
transferred continuously. This method enables to allow to transfer audio/visual
data continuously. Also, an application for reproducing data enables to identify
an error, enabling to avoid the application falling into a non-executable condition
or the system falling into a hung-up condition. In addition, because whether a
retry is needed is determined when error data is transferred, it becomes possible
to avoid an unnecessary retry in reproducing audio/visual or the like.
