Patent ID: 8903227

Claim:
An information processing apparatus comprising: a data processing unit implemented by circuitry and configured to perform processing of recording data on a recording medium, wherein the data processing unit executes processing of recording three-dimensional image discrimination data in each of hierarchized management information files in the processing of recording data in the recording medium, wherein the image discrimination data represents two cases corresponding to whether or not there is a possibility of a three-dimensional image being included in recorded data in units of management data for each of the hierarchized management information files, wherein a first case of the two cases, in which there is a possibility of the three-dimensional image of the three-dimensional image being included in the recorded data in units of management data, includes a first sub-case in which the three-dimensional image is not actually included in the recorded data, and a second sub-case in which the three-dimensional image is actually included in the recorded data, and a second case of the two cases, in which there is no possibility of the three-dimensional image of the three-dimensional image being included in the recorded data in units of management data, includes one sub-case in which the three-dimensional image is not included in the recorded data, and wherein the hierarchized management information files include playlist files including reproduction section designating information for the clip information files.
