DVD Stream Recording allows to recover or permanently erase on-the-fly
preliminarily erased cells on the disc. In case of very low-bitrate
stream recording there could be less than one application packet and
therefore timestamp per Stream Object Unit. In such situation, stuffing
is necessary in order to guarantee the proper functioning of the Mapping
List data retrieval. To make on-the-fly preliminarily erasure, complete
recovery or permanent erase possible even for stuffing data packets
located at cell boundaries, to two special timestamps defining a
preliminarily erased cell and two other timestamps defining the location
of a normal cell a different meaning is assigned under specific
circumstances.
