A recording medium for storing information for still pictures, and a
recording and/or reproducing method and apparatus therefor. A writeable
and rewriteable recording medium stores data for a plurality of still
pictures and audio data added thereto in one file or a space having a
logically one-dimensional order, rather than in each file, and still
picture group information for separating the still picture data into
within a predetermined maximum number of groups in order to manage the
still pictures at a group level is then stored on the recording medium.
Thus, large-capacity still picture data and audio data added thereto can
be recorded and/or reproduced using a minimum amount of information. The
still picture group information includes general information for still
picture groups, and information for still pictures in each still picture
group. The general information for each still picture group includes the
start position of a first still picture in each still picture group (the
start position of each still picture group). The information for still
pictures in each still picture group includes the sizes of video data and
audio data for each still picture. Therefore, effective management of
information is allowed.
