  • RECORDING MEDIUM OF STREAM DATA, AND RECORDING METHOD AND PLAYBACK METHOD OF THE SAME
    Publication number: 20080152321
    Abstract: Upon playback of stream data which is recorded while being appended with time stamp information in units of packets, time management is made using the time stamp information. A video playback time viewed from the user, which may be indicated by I-, B-, and P-picture display times, is different from the time of the time stamp information. For this reason, when time management for the stream data recorded on an information storage medium is made using only the time stamp information, display time control (video playback time control) for the user cannot be accurately done. In this invention, a time relationship table indicating the relationship between the time stamp information recorded in stream data at each I-picture start time position and display time information (PTS or field information) for the user is provided to a portion of management information.

  • Data Recording Method, Data Playback Apparatus, and Recording Medium
    Publication number: 20080138041
    Abstract: A first file 401 includes management data 404. The data 404 describes management information units related to a plurality of transport streams 406 and 407 constituting a second file 403. A third file 402 includes only time map data 405 indicating the relationship between time and recording position of the transport stream 406 and does not include time map data related to the other transport stream 407. In this arrangement, multistream data, multichannel data, or full TS data is recorded as the transport stream 407. Accordingly, multistream recording or multichannel recording, and full TS recording can be easily realized in a video recorder for, e.g. a DVD.
