摘要

A transmission format signal is recorded on a recording medium capable of recording a large volume of transmission format signals with no occurrence of any redundant part. The recording medium is closely filled with transport packets each of 188 bytes in size, composing together an MPEG2 transport stream in such a manner that no redundant part will exist in each sector of 2048 bytes in size.
