A method for recording and storing independent and/or simultaneous transport
streams
of data is suggested. The inventive method comprises at least a recording mode
in which at least a first transport stream of data to be recorded/stored is received.
The transport streams are divided into series of packets with respect to a predefined
clock or with respect to their temporal relationships. To each transport stream
and to the series of packets respectively a packet identifier is assigned. A series
of partial transport streams is generated from at least said series of packet identifiers
and said series of packets. A time series of said partial transport streams based
on said clock is recorded and stored as a combined transport stream.
