Abstract From the Canadian patent

A recordable optical disc stores one or more video objects. A video stream a first audio stream, and a second audio stream which is used for dubbing are multiplexed into each video object. Also an optical disc recording apparatus generates the second audio stream by an audio stream generating means and multiplexes the generated second audio stream into each video object together with the video object and the first audio stream by a multiplexing means. The generated video objects are recorded onto the recordable optical disc by a recording means. The optical disc in which such video objects are stored facilitates dubbing.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed December 15, 1998 and granted September 30, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 15, 2018.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 15, 2020.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
