Method for editing a multi-view stream in an optical disk apparatus

Abstract

A method for editing an MPEG 2 transport stream into which a plurality of sub-view streams are multiplexed recorded on a rewritable storage medium. Receiving a request for deleting an interval of a sub-view stream contained in the recorded multi-view stream, the method performs a virtual deletion operation by creating position information about the interval and identification information about the sub-view stream and recording the created information in the management information for the multi-view stream, without actually deleting the data corresponding to the interval requested to be deleted. The method facilitates the deletion and retrieval of an arbitrary interval of a specific sub-view stream.
