Abstract
An apparatus defines interleave-processing segments to be interleaved in a backward direction relative to a flow direction of bit streams. The segments are defined every time the segments, ILVU-BR, -CR, -DR are successfully set for each of the respective bit streams, VOB-B-VOB-D. In setting the segments for each of the respective bit streams, the segment of one bit stream is set to follow the set segment of other bit stream. When an amount of data of the rest of the bit streams is insufficient to form the final segment, the rest data is distributed among the segments that have been already defined. The defined segments are arranged in the flow direction of the bit streams.
