Recording medium having data structure for managing reproduction of data streams recorded thereon and recording and reproducing methods and apparatuses
DCFirst Claim
1. A computer readable medium having a data structure for managing reproduction of a data stream, comprising:
- a navigation area for storing navigation data associated with the data stream representing a portion of at least one reproduction path, the navigation data including indication information, the indication information for indicating whether the data stream represents multiple reproduction paths or the data stream represents a single reproduction path, and the navigation data includes path number information and an indicator associated with each reproduction path, the path number information for identifying number of the multiple reproduction paths, and the indicator for indicating a file associated with the associated one of the multiple reproduction paths.

Abstract
The data structure includes a navigation area of a computer readable medium storing navigation data associated with a data stream representing a portion of at least one reproduction path. The navigation data includes indication information, and the indication information indicates whether the data stream represents multiple reproduction paths or the data stream represents a single reproduction path. If the indication information indicates the data stream represents multiple reproduction paths, the navigation data includes path number information and an indicator associated with each reproduction path. The path number information identifies a number of the multiple reproduction paths, and each indicator indicates a file associated with the associated one of the multiple reproduction paths.
