ABSTRACT:
A laser readable disc comprising at least one spiral track storing a video program including within at least three segments containing respectively (1) content unique to one of at least two versions of, and playable from within, the video program, (2) content unique to another of the at least two versions, and (3) content common to the at least two versions, the laser readable disc storing a user interface particular to the video program, and storing segment information (e.g. information defining and linking segments) for playing, by means of a random accessing and buffering, and responsive to a preference with respect to, for example, at least one category of detail and/or a category of possibly objectionable content, such as motion picture rating, at least one seamless version of, and from within, the video program, and for seamlessly skipping at least one segment containing content not included in the version being played; and 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, explicitness, and/or violence, than that provided by a segment containing content unique to the another of the at least two versions.
