Abstract:
1. A recording method comprising, when packeting content data and recording the packeted content data to a recording medium having a plurality of sectors made up of at least a header and packet data, the steps of: generating supplementary data equivalent to a remaining data length of the last sector of the plurality of sectors to which the packeted content data is recorded if the remaining data length of the last sector is smaller than the data length of the header; and adding the generated supplementary data to the content data and packeting the content data, wherein the data length of the packeted content data is divided by the data length of the packet data to find a quotient and the remainder, and the result of subtraction of the found remainder from the data length of the packet data is compared with the data length of the header, thus discriminating whether or not the remaining data length of the last sector is smaller than the data length of the header.
