Method for generating information for fast searching of packet data, recording medium storing the information, and recording and/or playback apparatus using the same

摘要

A method for generating information used for fast searching of packet data, a recording medium for storing the information, and a recording and/or playback apparatus using the same are provided. A basic unit is generated by segmenting packet data into units of a predetermined size and generates basic unit information for each basic unit. The basic unit information includes information indicating the arrival time of the first packet of a corresponding basic unit. This information is recorded with a data stream and used when quickly searching for a desired position during special playback such as time search. If a fast search method such as binary searching is adopted, much faster searching can be realized. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
