The method comprises recording multiple series of contiguously arranged video objects constituting multiple video object sets on said disc with corresponding multiple management information comprising attribute information of the corresponding video object set. The management information constituting with a video object set a plyable video title. The multiple video object sets are combined into a single combined video object set and the multiple management information is preceding said combined video object set.
Description
Data allocation in DVD recording Field of the Invention The invention relates to a method for recording encoded information signals on a disc like record carrier, such as an optically readable disc. The invention further relates to a recording apparatus for performing the method.
Background of the Invention The DVD-Video format for optically readable discs is defined in the DVD
Specifications for Read-Only Disc, part 3: Video Specifications (version 1.0, August 1996).
Relevant parts therefrom are being disclosed in for instance European Patent Application EP 724 264 and US Patent 5 784 528, respectively document D 1 and D2 in the list of referred documents that can be found at the end of this description.
The DVD-Video format as defined in the above mentioned Specifiations for READ-Only Disc and disclosed in D 1 and D2 was created for storing movies and other video content on read-only DVD media. Some of the features of the DVD-Video format make it less suitable for real-time recording applications.
However, it is desirable to create and record video streams and associated data structures on rewritable media in real time which are should preferably be almost identical to the structures defined in the DVD-Video format. Such rewritable discs should be play back compatible with the majority of the installed base of consumer DVD-Video players. The method according to the invention describes a novel and inventive format for DVD-Video compatible real-time recording of video streams, referred to hereinafter to as Real Time DVD
Video Recording or shortly DVD-Video Recording. The format defined is intended for home video recording on an optical medium which is playback compatible with DVD-Video players.
The above-mentioned DVD-Video format demands that data for a Video Title Set (VTS) be allocated contiguously. This implies that Titles cannot be fragmented, except for interleaving. A Title in this respect is defined to be a user accessible unit in Title Search Pointer table of the DVD-Video format. This requirement implies that a user should see a disc as a linear recording space equivalent to a tape where Titles are presented to user in order of recording.
However, this gives all kinds of problems when part of the data is overwritten with new recordings such as occurs with adding, appending, overwriting or deleting a Title.
A possible solution would be to organize all titles in one Video Title Set, preceded by one Video Title Set Information area (VTSI) and a corresponding Video Manager General Information area (VMGI). However, this has the disadvantage that no longer can be distinguished between different parameter sets for each Title. Such as for example the video parameters picture resolution, frame rate, aspect ratio and bit rate.
Summary of the Invention In consequence, amongst other things, it is an object of some embodiments of the invention to obviate the above-mentioned disadvantages.

A Play List is a Title representing a play back sequence of Cells from one Recording. A Cell is a sequence of one or more Video Object Units (VOBU). The first VOBU of a Cell shall contain video data. A Cell is the basic presentation unit for the Program Chains (PGC), which is a playback sequence of Cells for the presentation of a Menu or a Title.
A full Title represents one Recording. When a Full Title is played, all complete Cells contained in the Recording are played in the order of data allocation in the Video Object Set for Titles in a Video Title Set. (VTSTT VOBS).
A Recording is a contiguous piece of the Video Object Set for Titles in a Video Title Set (VTSTT VOBS). A Video Object (VOB) is (a part of) a sequence of contiguously recorded Cells, together constituting (a part of) an MPEG-2 Program Stream containing MPEG-2 Program Stream packs such as defined in ISO/IEC 13818-1 related to MPEG-2 systems, document D3 in the list of referred documents that can be found at the end of this description.
The Title Search Pointer Table is one of the elements of the Video Manager.
This table lists all available Play Lists and Full Titles on the disc. It is a starting point for finding the data that is relevant for playing back a Title.
Free Space is a recording which is represented by a Free Space Title in the Title Search Pointer Table. If the last Recording is free space, it is not represented in this table. A Free Space Title is a Full Title or Play List Title which cannot be played back as the related Program Chain Information contains a pre-command to prevent this. Time PlayO, Time_Search(), PTT_Play() and PTT Search() for a Free Space Title are blocked.
The Cell information in the Program Chain of a Free Space Title may not be reliable.
After the Video Manager (VMG) several Video Title Sets (VTS# 1, VTS#2 ..) may follow, each Video Title Set (VTS) preceded by Video Title Set Information (VSTI) containing information with respect to the corresponding Video Title Set (VTS) such as audio and video parameters. Following the Video Title Set Information (VTSI) are corresponding Video Object Set (VOBS) containing MPEG-2 video for respectively Menus and Titles. Each Video Title Set close with a Duplicate area (DUP) containing a copy of the Video Title Set Information (VTSI).
Fig. 3 illustrates in more detail the arrangement of a Video Object Set (VOBs) of Fig. 2 in contiguously recorded Video Objects (VOB#1, VOB#2,...) and Cells (C_IDN=1, C_IDN=2,...). VOBs which are used for the menus are stored in the Video Manager VOBS
(VMGM VOBS). VOBs which are used for the Titles are stored in the VTS Title VOBS
(VTSTT_VOBS).
Fig. 4 shows a possible arrangement of all Titles in one Video Title Set..
Following the Video Manager (VMG) area, is only one Video Title Set preceded by one Video Title Set Information (VTSI) area and a corresponding Duplicate (DUP) area. The Video Title Set (VTS) contains in this example two Titles (Title1 and Title 2). The corresponding Presentation Control Information (PCI) and Data Search Information (DSI), not shown in Fig 4, is dispersed in corresponding Navigation Packs (NV_PCK) in each Video Object Unit (VOBU) of the Video Object Set VOBS. According to the DVD
Video format, a Video Title Set (VTS) has a separate reference point in the Navigation Pack (NV_PCK). Each Navigation Pack (NV_PCK) has a Logical Block Number (NV_PCK LBN) that is relative to this reference point (VOBS Offsett in NV-PCK).
When the real time data of the Video Object Set (VOBS) is overwritten by a New Title, the Video Title Set Information (VTSI) and the Video Manager Information (VMGI) are updated.
However, the embodiment according to Fig. 4, is limited in that the Video Title Set (VTS) may only contain one parameter set for video and audio. Such as for example parameters related to aspect ratio, Long Play mode versus Normal Play mode, picture size and Video Coding Mode (MPEG1 or MPEG2) and so on. An embodiment according to the invention that overcomes this disadvantage will be disclosed with reference to Fig. 5 Fig. 5 shows an arrangement of multiple Video Title Sets according to an embodiment of the invention. This arrangement allows multiple interleaved Video Title Sets (VTS# 1, VTS#2...). The real time data of the Video Title Sets (TITLE 1, TITLE2, TITLE3) is arranged consecutively while the corresponding Video Title Set Information (VTSI# 1, VTSI#2, VTSI#3) is arranged separately. When real time data is overwritten, this info structures are adapted such that only references to the remaining data structures are made.
Players do not notice that the real time data of various Video Title Sets is arranged in an interleaved manner. With reference to Fig.5A, which shows only one Title (TITLEI), Fig. 5B
shows an additional Title (TITLE2) and Fig.5C two additional Titles (TITLE2 and TITLE3).
It is noted that each Navigation Pack (NV-PCK) has a Relative Block Number (NV_PCK LBN) that is relative to the first sector containing real time data of any Video Title Set (VTS). This is regarded as the common reference point for all real time data.
The Video Title Set Information (VTSI#1, VTSI#2, VTSI#3) files are located in a separate area on the disc, preferably in front of any real time data structure. This is also done for the corresponding Duplicate files (DUP1, DUP2, DUP3). Each Video Title Set is allowed to have its own video and audio parameters such as defined in the corresponding Video Title Set Information (VTSI) Fig. 6 shows a recording apparatus according to a first embodiment of the invention. The recording apparatus is composed of several units. One unit is the A/V input unit 1. The A/V input unit 1 receives image and sound signals at antenna input terminal 2 and an external sound/image input terminal 3. The antenna input terminal 2 is adapted to receive broadcasted modulated A/V signals transmitted by either satellite, terrestrial or cable source.
The Title Search Pointer Table is one of the elements of the Video Manager.
This table lists all available Play Lists and Full Titles on the disc. It is a starting point for finding the data that is relevant for playing back a Title.
Free Space is a recording which is represented by a Free Space Title in the Title Search Pointer Table. If the last Recording is free space, it is not represented in this table. A Free Space Title is a Full Title or Play List Title which cannot be played back as the related Program Chain Information contains a pre-command to prevent this. Time PlayO, Time_Search(), PTT_Play() and PTT Search() for a Free Space Title are blocked.
The Cell information in the Program Chain of a Free Space Title may not be reliable.
After the Video Manager (VMG) several Video Title Sets (VTS# 1, VTS#2 ..) may follow, each Video Title Set (VTS) preceded by Video Title Set Information (VSTI) containing information with respect to the corresponding Video Title Set (VTS) such as audio and video parameters. Following the Video Title Set Information (VTSI) are corresponding Video Object Set (VOBS) containing MPEG-2 video for respectively Menus and Titles. Each Video Title Set close with a Duplicate area (DUP) containing a copy of the Video Title Set Information (VTSI).
Fig. 3 illustrates in more detail the arrangement of a Video Object Set (VOBs) of Fig. 2 in contiguously recorded Video Objects (VOB#1, VOB#2,...) and Cells (C_IDN=1, C_IDN=2,...). VOBs which are used for the menus are stored in the Video Manager VOBS
(VMGM VOBS). VOBs which are used for the Titles are stored in the VTS Title VOBS
(VTSTT_VOBS).
Fig. 4 shows a possible arrangement of all Titles in one Video Title Set..
Following the Video Manager (VMG) area, is only one Video Title Set preceded by one Video Title Set Information (VTSI) area and a corresponding Duplicate (DUP) area. The Video Title Set (VTS) contains in this example two Titles (Title1 and Title 2). The corresponding Presentation Control Information (PCI) and Data Search Information (DSI), not shown in Fig 4, is dispersed in corresponding Navigation Packs (NV_PCK) in each Video Object Unit (VOBU) of the Video Object Set VOBS. According to the DVD
Video format, a Video Title Set (VTS) has a separate reference point in the Navigation Pack (NV_PCK). Each Navigation Pack (NV_PCK) has a Logical Block Number (NV_PCK LBN) that is relative to this reference point (VOBS Offsett in NV-PCK).
When the real time data of the Video Object Set (VOBS) is overwritten by a New Title, the Video Title Set Information (VTSI) and the Video Manager Information (VMGI) are updated.
However, the embodiment according to Fig. 4, is limited in that the Video Title Set (VTS) may only contain one parameter set for video and audio. Such as for example parameters related to aspect ratio, Long Play mode versus Normal Play mode, picture size and Video Coding Mode (MPEG1 or MPEG2) and so on. An embodiment according to the invention that overcomes this disadvantage will be disclosed with reference to Fig. 5 Fig. 5 shows an arrangement of multiple Video Title Sets according to an embodiment of the invention. This arrangement allows multiple interleaved Video Title Sets (VTS# 1, VTS#2...). The real time data of the Video Title Sets (TITLE 1, TITLE2, TITLE3) is arranged consecutively while the corresponding Video Title Set Information (VTSI# 1, VTSI#2, VTSI#3) is arranged separately. When real time data is overwritten, this info structures are adapted such that only references to the remaining data structures are made.
Players do not notice that the real time data of various Video Title Sets is arranged in an interleaved manner. With reference to Fig.5A, which shows only one Title (TITLEI), Fig. 5B
shows an additional Title (TITLE2) and Fig.5C two additional Titles (TITLE2 and TITLE3).
It is noted that each Navigation Pack (NV-PCK) has a Relative Block Number (NV_PCK LBN) that is relative to the first sector containing real time data of any Video Title Set (VTS). This is regarded as the common reference point for all real time data.
The Video Title Set Information (VTSI#1, VTSI#2, VTSI#3) files are located in a separate area on the disc, preferably in front of any real time data structure. This is also done for the corresponding Duplicate files (DUP1, DUP2, DUP3). Each Video Title Set is allowed to have its own video and audio parameters such as defined in the corresponding Video Title Set Information (VTSI) Fig. 6 shows a recording apparatus according to a first embodiment of the invention. The recording apparatus is composed of several units. One unit is the A/V input unit 1. The A/V input unit 1 receives image and sound signals at antenna input terminal 2 and an external sound/image input terminal 3. The antenna input terminal 2 is adapted to receive broadcasted modulated A/V signals transmitted by either satellite, terrestrial or cable source.
The external sound/image input terminal 3 is adapted to receive a non modulated audio signal or a non-modulated video signals generated directly by respectively an audio or a video source.
Fig. 7 illustrates the AN input unit 1 in more detail. A tuner 5 , which is connected to the antenna input terminal 2, demodulates the modulated AN
antenna signals and outputs the demodulated signals to a suitable AN demultiplexing unit 6 for separating audio signals from video signals. An audio A/D converter unit 7 outputs a digital audio signal A and a NTSC/PAL/SECAM decoding unit 8, comprising a video A/D
converter, outputs a digital video signal V. These signals A and V are outputted to a encoding/decoding unit 9, which is illustrated in more detail in Fig. 8. The encoding/decoding unit 9 compresses and encodes the signals A and V, respectively by an audio encoder 10 and a video encoder 11, converts them to a multiplexed and compressed stream conforming to Video Recording specifications, employing a multiplexer 12. To this purposes the audio encoder 10 and video encoder 11 are adapted to perform source compression according to a specific standard for compression, such as for example MPEG-2 for audio and video.
The compressed and multiplexed stream is submitted via a track buffer 13, which absorbs rate fluctuations stemming from intermittent recording and data reproduction from a disc, to a drive unit 14. The encoding/and decoding unit 9 also expands a compressed stream read from a recording medium by the drive unit 14 and outputs separately an audio signal A and a video signal V to the AN output unit 15. To this purpose, the encoding/decoding unit 9 comprises a suitable AN decoder 16 for decoding the compressed audio and video source signals.

Fig. 10 illustrates the drive unit 14 in more detail. This unit 14 receives the compressed stream generated by the encoding/decoding unit 9, and adds an error-correction code by a suitable error correction processing unit 21 to the stream. Next a channel modulation/demodulation unit 22 converts the stream with error-correction code to channel bits adapted for recording on a recording medium 23. In case of a DVD-disc the EFM+
modulation scheme is being applied. Recording and reading in case of a recording medium 23 of the optical type, is performed by a laser comprised in an optical head unit 25. A laser power control unit 24 is controlling the laser. Reflected signals from the recording medium 23 are being converted by an amplifier and waveform equalizer circuit 26 into two-value signals. The resultant compressed stream is further demodulated by the modulating/demodulation unit 22, error corrected by the error correction processing unit 21 and outputted to the encoding/decoding unit 9 via track buffer 13.
A servo circuit 27, connected to the amplifier and waveform equalizer circuit 26, controls the positioning of the optical head unit 25 relative to the recording medium 23 and the rotational velocity of the recording medium 23 by controlling rotational driving means 28.
A system control unit 29, as shown in Fig. 11, controls each block and perform file control, control information management and track buffer control.
