Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus for recording a record content onto an information recording medium, comprising: an encoder for performing an encoding operation on the record content, a data processor for performing a conversion operation for converting encoded data on the encoder into recorded data having a predetermined record format, the data processor creating, in addition to the recorded data, one or more record files associated with the recorded data as defined by the predetermined record format, and a recording processor for recording, onto the information recording medium, the recorded data having the predetermined record format and the one or more record files associated with the recorded data, the data processor being configured to create apparatus-specific seamless information from the recorded data for application to a discontinuous irregularly-timed recording operation of a different record content, and being configured to record the apparatus-specific seamless information into the information recording medium as part of the one or more record files associated with the recorded data, wherein the information processing apparatus selectively records the apparatus-specific seamless information in at least one of a clip information file, a play list file, an index file, and a movie object file, the record structure of the apparatus-specific seamless information is based on the type of file in which the information is recorded, and the structure differs from file type to file type among the file types of clip information file, play list file, index file, and movie object file.
