MULTICHANNEL STREAM RECORDING DEVICE AND METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DEVICE AND THE METHOD, ESPECIALLY IN REFERENCE TO DIVIDING A MULTICHANNEL STREAM ACCORDING TO EACH CHANNEL AFTER RECORDING THE DIVIDED STREAM ON THE RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

PURPOSE: A multichannel stream recording device and method, and a recording medium in accordance with the device and the method are provided to divide a multichannel stream into one video object, and to generate navigation information corresponding to the video object to manage the generated information, thereby selectively reproducing a random channel stream. CONSTITUTION: A data area for storing a transport stream of at least video data is included. The transport stream is separated into transport packets. Each transport packet is associated with one multi reproduction path. To each reproduction path of the transport packets, transport packets of other reproduction path are interleaved, and a navigation area for storing at least one navigation data item is included. The navigation data item supplies navigation information for reproducing more than one of the multi reproduction paths. The navigation area separately stores maps associated with each reproduction path. Each map provides position data of video data associated with the reproduction paths.
