Abstract
A method and apparatus for reproducing data recorded in a sector basis from a recording medium. The data recorded in each sector may include audio and/or video data and the data of each sector may be arranged in one or more packets wherein each packet may include a packet start code and a stream identification code located at the beginning of the respective packet which may indicate whether audio or video data is included in the respective packet and/or the type of data included therein. Sector information associated with the sector is detected from the read data. Writing and reading operations of the data read from the recording medium into and from a memory are controlled based on the detected information. As a result, the time required to recover from the occurrence of an error may be reduced.
