In one general aspect, the techniques disclosed here feature a recording medium in which are recorded a video stream of standard-luminance range, and a video stream of high-luminance range that is a broader luminance range than the standard-luminance range, which are used selectively in accordance with a playback environment, a subtitle stream of the standard-luminance range, and a subtitle stream of the high-luminance range, which are used selectively in accordance with the playback environment, and a playlist file storing playback control information of content, the playlist file including a management region where the playback control information relating to a main stream is stored, and an extended region. The management region stores first playback control information specifying that a video stream of the high-luminance range and a subtitle stream of the high-luminance range are to be played in combination. The extended region stores second playback control information specifying that a video stream of the standard-luminance range and a subtitle stream of the standard-luminance range are to be played in combination. According to the above form, further improvement can be realized.
It should be noted that general or specific embodiments may be implemented as a system, a method, an integrated circuit, a computer program, a storage medium, or any selective combination thereof.
Additional benefits and advantages of the disclosed embodiments will become apparent from the specification and drawings. The benefits and/or advantages may be individually obtained by the various embodiments and features of the specification and drawings, which need not all be provided in order to obtain one or more of such benefits and/or advantages.
