1. A storage device comprising a computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed on a computer system:

  • read a contiguous media control descriptor data stream comprising a first format;

    compile a plurality of containers containing said media control descriptor data from said stream, said plurality of containers comprising a second format;

    arrange said containers into a logical hierarchy;

    present the hierarchy to a device requesting data from said stream; and

    compile said plurality of containers in said second format back into said first format;

    wherein said plurality of containers are individually accessible by a device requesting data thereby allowing access to an individual container without affecting the access to any other container containing data from said stream; and

    wherein, absent said plurality of containers, said media control descriptor data stream would have to be accessed as a whole.
