An optical disk playing apparatus capable of reproducing information
recorded on an optical disk includes a system controller. The system
controller obtains an address of a navigation pack corresponding to a
user's request with respect to a data having video data of still picture
and audio data recorded on the optical disk, determines whether or not
the obtained navigation pack has the video data of still picture,
reproduces, on the basis of a predetermined information included in the
obtained navigation pack, a video data of still picture which is
corresponding to a head address of a preceding video object when the
obtained navigation pack does not have the video data of still picture,
and reproduces an audio data of the address of the navigation pack
corresponding to the user's request.
