Recording/reproducing apparatus for storing a digital information signal in a storage medium using packet a method and a record carrier, which further allows for editing the stored digital information signal by including references to additional packets

摘要

A first digital information signal, such as a digital video signal, is recorded in MPEG encoded form in the form of first packets in first track portions (TP.sub.1) on a record carrier. Program information contained packets (P.sub.0 ') are also recorded in the first track portions. In a subsequent editing step, an additional information signal, such as an audio signal, is MPEG encoded into second packets and recorded in second track portions (TP.sub.2) of the tracks. In order to enable a reproduction of the video signal and the additional audio signal in a later reproduction step, the program information contained packets (P.sub. 0 ') recorded in the first track portions are such that the program information indicates that the first packets and at least the second packets belong together.
