RECORDING DEVICE, REPRODUCING DEVICE, RECORDING MEDIUM FOR RECORDING PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM FOR REPRODUCING PROGRAM

摘要

A control information decoding section (102) decodes control information included in a stream. A random access information analyzing section (101) analyzes a position of a random access point of a medium included in the stream by using the control information. Furthermore, a management information generating section (103) generates management information for managing a plurality of random access points included in the stream, based on the control information decoded by the control information decoding section (102) and the position of the random access point analyzed by the random access information analyzing section (101). Then, the management information generated in such manner is recorded in a recording medium (104) with the stream. Thus, reproduction of the stream having control signals periodically inserted can be rapidly started at the time of performing reproduction by random access.
