Patent ID: 7978955

Claim:
A recording apparatus for performing processing based on audio data, the recording apparatus comprising: receiving means for receiving an input of a transport stream in which first TS (Transport Stream) packets generated by TS-packetizing audio data encoded using a first encoding method that is a predetermined encoding method and second TS packets generated by TS-packetizing audio data encoded using a second encoding method different from the first encoding method are multiplexed, the second encoding method being a variable-length encoding method; obtaining means for obtaining time information used for decoding as first time information, the time information being included in one of the first TS packets of the transport stream received by the receiving means; determining means for determining whether or not one of the second TS packets that includes the time information having the same time value as the first time information exists after the one first TS packet from which the first time information is obtained by the obtaining means in the transport stream; setting means for setting as an entry point the one first TS packet from which the first time information is obtained when the determining means determines that the one second TS packet including the time information having the same time value as the first time information exists after the one first TS packet from which the first time information is obtained; creating means for creating a table based on stream identification information, the number of the one first TS packet set as the entry point by the setting means, and the first time information; and recording controlling means for recording the table created by the creating means onto a recording medium.
