Video data recording and reproducing apparatus

摘要

Each of a video data recording apparatus, a video data recording method, a video data reproducing apparatus, a video data reproducing method, a video data recording and reproducing apparatus, and a video data recording and reproducing method is interfaced using an MPEG2 elementary stream. An input elementary stream can be recorded to a record medium and reproduced therefrom. A recording side stream converting means converts an input elementary stream into a device stream, that is a stream suitable for a record medium. A recording means performs a recording process for the converted device stream and records the record data to the record medium. A reproducing means reproduces record data recorded on the record medium as a device stream. A reproducing side stream converting means converts the restored device stream into an elementary stream. <IMAGE>
