DATA MULTIPLEXING/SEPARATING DEVICE

摘要

In generating a system header included in an extended program stream of MPEG-2 systems, when the basic stream ID is an extended ID and basic buffer size information indicates zero byte, extended buffer size information is generated and recorded. The extended buffer size information is required for reproducing elementary streams multiplexed with use of the pair of the extended ID and an extended stream ID, and is expressed by total 24 bits including the extended ID, maker bit, and the extended stream ID and total 24 bits including the extended ID, the maker bit, extended buffer bound scale information, and extended buffer size bound information.
