Information recording medium, and editing apparatus and method therefor

摘要

In case that a skipping section is provided by editing in a recording region (B) other than a recording region for block data (A) in an information recording medium recorded with at least more than one collation table of time recording location (12,12',12"...), which is composed of more than one collation data by each fixed time interval and time compensating data, a collation table of time recording location is read out from the information recording medium and divided in response to a designated skipping period. A collation data, which assigns block data of designated skipping period, are deleted. A second time compensating data is calculated in response to the skipping period. Combining the second time compensating data with collation data succeeding the deleted collation data composes a new collation table of time recording location. The new collation table of time recording location is written back to the information recording medium in conjunction with a collation table of time recording location temporally preceding the deleted data.
