摘要

To smoothly reproduce data. A data generation section 103 generates an essence data file composed of a file header, a file body, and a file footer. A header size obtainment section 108 obtains header size information of essence data file from the data generation section 103, and supplies the header size information to a clip generation section 104 and an index file update section 105. The clip generation section 104 generates a clip information file that describes the header size information supplied from the header size obtainment section 108. The index file update section 105 registers a clip element that describes the header size information supplied from the header size obtainment section 108 to an index file stored in a ROM. The present invention can be applied to a video program creation support system.
