STRUCTURE OF NAVIGATION INFORMATION FOR VIDEO DATA RECORDED ON A RECORDING MEDIUM AND RECORDING AND REPRODUCING METHODS AND APPARATUSES USING THE STRUCTURE

摘要

A structure of navigation information for video data recorded on a recording medium and recording and reproducing methods and apparatuses using the structure. The method of recording video data in accordance with the present invention records video data on a recording medium with organizing the video data into navigation units and interleaving navigation units of different reproduction paths with one another in multiple reproduction path segments. An information entry is created for each navigation unit and the information entry comprises information indicating whether the associated navigation unit is in a multiple reproduction path segment and information for identifying the reproduction path to which the associated navigation unit belongs.
