It is possible to edit a dynamic image stream recorded on a recording medium by adding management information in accordance with a predetermined standard format, while satisfying the upper limit condition. When the number of reproduction items in a reproduction list or the number of reproduction list marks has reached or approached the upper limit condition, the last chapter information in the reproduction list is shifted to the head of the subsequent reproduction list or a newly created reproduction list. Moreover, when contents of two or more adjacent reproduction lists are combined and the number of reproduction items and the number of list marks do not reach the upper limit condition, these lists are integrated into one so as to reduce the number of reproduction lists in the recording medium.
