       8. The cell-by-cell edition method as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein, a recording of a cell under recording is stopped when the starting point of each cell is automatically designated, and the cell information in relation to the recorded cell is stored in a storage medium of the DVD recording apparatus. 
     
     
       9. The cell-by-cell edition method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the navigation data represents program chain information (PGCI). 
     
     
       10. A cell-by-cell edition method of a digital versatile disc (DVD) recording apparatus which records images on a DVD in video format when the DVD is loaded therein, the method comprising:
 recording an image on the DVD, and temporarily storing cell information in relation to a plurality of cells constituting the image; 
 displaying representative images of the plurality of cells on a graphical user interface (GUI) which is connected to the DVD recording apparatus; and 
 creating navigation data in response to a user's selection using the cell information when the user selects a reproduction or deletion of the plurality of cells while viewing the representative images, and storing the created navigation data on the DVD. 
 
     
     
       11. A digital versatile disc (DVD) recording apparatus comprising:
 a DVD drive arranged to receive a DVD, for recording an image on the DVD or reading a recorded image from the DVD; and 
 a control unit for storing cell information in relation to a plurality of cells constituting the image, for creating navigation data using the cell information while a user is editing each cell in a cell-by-cell edition, for storing the created navigation data on the DVD, and to display representative images of the plurality of cells on a graphical user interface (GUI) connected to the DVD recording apparatus. 
 
     
     
       12. The DVD recording apparatus as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the cell-by-cell edition is performed to select a deletion or reproduction of each cell. 
     
     
       13. The DVD recording apparatus as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the representative images of the plurality of cells is displayed on the GUI in a thumbnail scheme. 
     
     
       14. The DVD recording apparatus as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the navigation data represents program chain information (PGCI). 
     
     
       15. A recording apparatus comprising:
 a disc drive arranged to receive an optical disc recording, in a video format, at least an image which is composed of a plurality of cells with each cell representing a part of a recorded image; and 
 a controller arranged to control the disc drive, for enabling a user, during a cell-by-cell edit mode, to selectively reproduce at least a part of the recorded image, via a graphical user interface (GUI). 
 
     
     
       16. The recording apparatus as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the optical disc is a digital versatile disc (DVD) and the controller is further configured to store cell information in relation to the plurality of cells constituting the image, to create navigation data using the cell information while the user edits each cell during the cell-by-cell edit mode, and to store created navigation data on the DVD. 
     
     
       17. A method of storing video data on a medium, the method comprising:
