A METHOD OF STORING A REAL TIME STREAM OF INFORMATION SIGNALS ON A DISC LIKE RECORD CARRIER

摘要

A method of storing a substantially real time stream of information signals arranged in separate, consecutive data packets of digital format on a disc like record carrier. A new stream pack (S-PCK) is defined comprising a pack header and a multiple of source packets containing said data packets with corresponding added time stamps related to a time of arrival of said data packets. The pack header comprises data packet retrieval information, such as the number of new source packets in the stream pack and the effect of the start location of the first source packet in the stream pack. Preferably private stream (2) of the MPEG-format is employed for this new stream.
