AV DATA RECORDING/REPRODUCING APPARATUS AND METHOD AND DISC ON WHICH DATA IS RECORDED BY THE AV DATA RECORDING/REPRODUCING APPARATUS OR METHOD

摘要

An AV data recording/reproducing apparatus and method capable of reliably reproducing all the frames in the apparatus or via the 1394 interface even when the reproduction start point is in the middle of a file. The apparatus includes a video recording block for recording video data as a video file composed of an MPEG transport packet, and a video reproducing block for recording, immediately before a transport packet containing a GOP header in the video file, a transport packet containing a PAT (program association table) and a transport packet containing a PMT (program map table) and reproducing video data composed of an MPEG transport packet. When reproduction is started at the beginning of the GOP header contained in the video data, the transport packet containing the PAT and the transport packet containing the PMT and after are reproduced.
