Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus for recording AV streams onto a recording medium comprising: encoding means for generating each of said AV streams forming a plurality of reproduction paths; managing information generating means for generating managing information including map information indicating positions of entry points of each of said AV streams and reproduction managing information indicating reproduction path change points set on the basis of said entry points included in said map information; and recording means for recording said AV streams and said managing information onto said recording medium, wherein said managing information generating means generates a correspondence table describing correspondences between packet numbers and presentation time stamps of said entry points as said map information, wherein: said encoding means performs encoding such that a video stream of each section starting at said reproduction path change point is a Closed GOP starting with an I-picture and a first packet is a video packet, and said AV streams generated by said encoding means are included in a transport stream.
