Processing of packets in MPEG encoded transport streams using additional data attached to each packet
At least one program is selected from MPEG encoded transport streams carrying a plurality of packets, and is recorded/reproduced without a need to determine the contents of those transport streams. When an MPEG encoded transport stream containing at least one program is selected, additional data is attached to each packet of this transport stream. The additional information indicates how many programs are contained in the selected MPEG encoded transport stream; indicates an error in the MPEG encoded transport stream; and indicates a transition point representing a beginning of a program in the MPEG encoded transport stream.
