Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for storing video information and audio information which are encoded into a system stream, together with associated management information, wherein the system stream has a first format (TS), the first format (TS) having a packet structure for storing data segmented in packets, the first format (TS) includes a constrained format used for converting the system stream from the first format (TS) to a second format (PS), the second format (PS) having a pack structure for storing data segmented in packs, according to the constrained format, a predetermined number of packets are grouped and managed as a multiplexing unit which corresponds to the pack of the second format, and the system stream is managed in a data management unit (Capsule) which includes a plurality of multiplexing units, the management information contains playback sequence information (PGC) indicating a playback sequence of the system stream, the playback sequence information is described by a combination of playback portions (Cells) corresponding to one or a plurality of continuous system streams, the management information contains connection information (connection_code) for each playback portion, the connection information indicating whether each playback portion is played back seamlessly from the playback portion in the previous playback sequence, when the connection information indicates seamless playback, a third system stream (Bridge-VOB) including a part of each of the two seamlessly connected system streams is used to enable seamless playback, and according to the constrained format, the audio stream and video stream are completely contained within the data management unit (Capsule), and each stream starts from the first byte in an access unit in the data management unit (Capsule) and ends at the last byte of an access unit.
