Solution: A disk image file is produced in such a manner that data to be handled as main data among sectors of a DVD disk and header information of each of the sectors are included in data of a DVD content to be distributed from the server. By dividing into synchronization frames of the DVD to be stored on a packet basis of a transport stream, and by adding to each of the packets, identification codes for the content and for a distribution destination of the content, identification is enabled on a basis of the individual sectors for the DVD. On the side of a recording apparatus, the recording into a large-capacity optical disk or a hard disk is performed together with the identification codes each added to source packets.
