Abstract
Stream data has a recording data structure formed in units of stream blocks (or stream object units SOBU) which are segmented to have a predetermined data size. Data are recorded (or encoded) and partially erased (or temporarily erased) in units of the stream blocks (SOBUs).
Claims5
An information medium containing data structures for recording bitstream information comprising:
- a data structure stored on said information medium including,
- a stream object, formed of the bitstream information, including at least one first data unit, at least one second data unit having the at least one first data unit, and at least one third data unit having the at least one said second data unit, the at least one third data unit storing header information relating to the at least one first data unit in the at least one third data unit.
A method for reading out bitstream information recorded on an information medium wherein the recorded bitstream information comprises a stream object which includes at least one first data unit, at least one second data unit having the at least one first data unit, and at least one third data unit having the at least one second data unit, wherein the at least one third data unit stores header information relating to the at least one first data unit in the at least one third data unit, said method comprising the steps of:
- reading the header information relating to the at least one first data unit;
- reading the at least one first data unit;
- reading the at least one second data unit;
- and
- reading the at least one third data unit filled by the bitstream information.
