ABSTRACT:
A system for, and a method of, playing a selected one of at least two versions of, and from within, the same variable content video program stored in a laser readable disc comprising at least one spiral track, the video program including within at least three segments containing respectively (1) content unique to one of said at least two versions, (2) content unique to another of said at least two versions, and (3) content common to said at least two versions, comprising the means for, or the steps of, selecting, responsive to, for example, a motion picture rating, which of said versions is to be played, and by means of information combining (e.g. defining and linking) segments, only the segments containing content unique to the version being played and segments containing content common to at least the version being played; and, by a random accessing and buffering, playing the selected segments as a seamless version of, and from within, the video program, and seamlessly skipping segments, within the video program containing content not included in the version being played; wherein a segment (e.g. a parallel, transitional, or overlapping segment) containing content unique to the one of the at least two versions provides, for example, for a scene at a different level of detail and/or explicitness than that provided by a segment containing content unique to the another of the at least two versions; and wherein, the playing is responsive to a user control interface supporting a voice recognition unit.
