Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil d'enregistrement et de reproduction de données prenant en charge un enregistrement et une reproduction à chemins multiples ; et un support de stockage d'informations sur lequel des données à chemins multiples sont enregistrées. Le support de stockage d'informations comprend au moins un clip constitué d'une unité d'enregistrement contenant des données de présentation pour des chemins respectifs, les données de présentation situées dans un chemin sélectionné étant continuellement reproduites sans changement de chemin, et des informations de chemins supplémentaires concernant un bloc de chemin sont enregistrées séparément à partir des données de présentation. Par conséquent, il est possible d'utiliser plus efficacement un espace d'enregistrement, de réduire la fréquence de sauts pour les clips, et de lire efficacement les données de présentation à chemins multiples à partir du support de stockage d'informations.
