RECORDING/REPRODUCTION AND/OR EDITING OF REAL TIME INFORMATION ON/FROM A DISC LIKE RECORD CARRIER

摘要

Various measures are proposed for enabling simultaneous reading and writing of real time information, such as a digital video signal, from/onto a disc-like record carrier. The measures embody a requirement to the size of the blocks of information recorded in fixed sized fragment areas on the record carrier. Further, measures are disclosed to enable reproduction and seamless editing. The seamless editing method requires the generation of one or more bridging blocks to be recorded in fixed size fragment areas on the disk like record carrier.
