Claims (28)

1. A non-transitory recording medium storing a video playback program that causes a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

displaying a plurality of videos in a plurality of display regions within a screen, respectively, each of the plurality of videos including control information for controlling a display position and a display size of a display region for the each of the plurality of videos within the screen;

for each of the displayed plurality of videos, receiving designations of widths in a vertical direction or in a horizontal direction within each of the plurality of display regions displaying the plurality of videos; and

adjusting relative display sizes of the plurality of videos such that display sizes of the widths designated for each of the plurality of videos are equivalent by updating the control information of the plurality of videos according to the received designations, and separately displaying on the screen the display regions of the plurality of videos with the adjusted sizes.

2. The non-transitory recording medium of claim 1 , wherein, in the process, the designations of the widths are received during playback of each of the plurality of videos.

3. The non-transitory recording medium of claim 1 , wherein, in the process:

receiving the designations of the widths in the vertical direction or in the horizontal direction includes receiving designations of specific regions within the display regions of each of the plurality of videos; and

adjusting the relative display sizes of the plurality of videos includes adjusting such that the display sizes of the widths in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction of the specific regions designated for the plurality of videos are equivalent.

4. The non-transitory recording medium of claim 1 , wherein the process further comprises, for each of the plurality of videos, storing information on the adjusted display sizes in a storage section.

5. A video playback device, comprising:

a processor configured to execute a process, the process comprising:

displaying a plurality of videos in a plurality of display regions within a screen, respectively, each of the plurality of videos including control information for controlling a display position and a display size of a display region for the each of the plurality of videos within the screen;

for each of the displayed plurality of videos, receiving designations of widths in a vertical direction or in a horizontal direction within each of the plurality of display regions displaying the plurality of videos; and

adjusting relative display sizes of the plurality of videos such that display sizes of the widths designated for each of the plurality of videos are equivalent by updating the control information of the plurality of videos according to the received designations, and separately displaying on the screen the display regions of the plurality of videos with the adjusted sizes.

6. The video playback device of claim 5 , wherein, in the process, the designations of the widths are received during playback of each of the plurality of videos.

7. The video playback device of claim 5 , wherein, in the process:

receiving the designations of the widths in the vertical direction or in the horizontal direction includes receiving designations of specific regions within the display regions of each of the plurality of videos; and

adjusting the relative display sizes of the plurality of videos includes adjusting such that the display sizes of the widths in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction of the specific regions designated for the plurality of videos are equivalent.

8. The video playback device of claim 5 , wherein the process further comprises, for each of the plurality of videos, storing information on the adjusted display sizes in a storage section.

9. A video playback method, comprising:

displaying a plurality of videos in a plurality of display regions within a screen, respectively, each of the plurality of videos including control information for controlling a display position and a display size of a display region for the each of the plurality of videos within the screen;

for each of the displayed plurality of videos, receiving designations of widths in a vertical direction or in a horizontal direction within each of the plurality of display regions displaying the plurality of videos; and

by a processor, adjusting relative display sizes of the plurality of videos such that display sizes of the widths designated for each of the plurality of videos are equivalent by updating the control information of the plurality of videos according to the received designations, and separately displaying on the screen the display regions of the plurality of videos with the adjusted sizes.

10. The video playback method of claim 9 , wherein the designations of the widths are received during playback of each of the plurality of videos.

11. The video playback method of claim 9 , wherein:

receiving the designations of the widths in the vertical direction or in the horizontal direction includes receiving designations of specific regions within the display regions of each of the plurality of videos; and

adjusting the relative display sizes of the plurality of videos includes adjusting such that the display sizes of the widths in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction of the specific regions designated for the plurality of videos are equivalent.

12. The video playback method of claim 9 , further comprising, for each of the plurality of videos, storing information on the adjusted display sizes in a storage section.
