摘要

PURPOSE: A recording medium having a data structure for managing a reproduction of recorded multiple reproduction path video data, and a recording and reproducing method in accordance with recording medium and a device therefor are provided to store clip files of at least a video data stream in a data area, and to associate each clip file with one of a common reproduction path part and a specific reproduction path part of the video data stream. CONSTITUTION: A recording medium includes a data area for storing clip files of at least a video data stream. Each flip file is associated with either a common reproduction path part or a specific reproduction path part in the video data stream. The clip files are interleaved. The clip files associated with the specific reproduction path part are interleaved between the clip files associated with the common reproduction path part. The clip files prevent a buffer underflow of a reproduction device while being reproduced.
