Claim:
For use in a video system including an encoder and a control portion, a method of processing data generating edit data indicating content of editing concerning first contents data of first resolution for predetermined image contents and second contents data of second resolution higher than said first resolution for said predetermined image contents, said method of processing data comprising: a first step of generating, using said encoder, a first edit data comprising predetermined data indicating content of editing performed based on said first contents data, identifier data allocated to said first contents data and said second contents data and property data indicating that said identifier data is reference to contents data of first resolution; and a second step of rewriting, using said control portion, said property data of said first edit data generated in said first step to property data indicating that it is reference to said contents data of second resolution to generate second editing data concerning to said second contents data, wherein when defining that said property data shows a first value indicating that said identifier data corresponding to said property data is newly generated or a second value indicating that said identifier data corresponding to said property data accedes said identifier data of the other data, and when said contents data of first resolution accedes said identifier data generated newly for said second contents data, said first step generates said edit data comprising said property data indicating said second value, and said second step rewrites said second value that said property data in said first edit data shows to said first value to generate said second edit data.
