摘要

To record a video signal on a recording medium so that a reproducing apparatus can faithfully reproduce an original color of the recorded video signal. A user can specify either a sRGB color space or an extended sRGB color space as the color space of the video signal to be recorded. A signal processing unit 131 generates a video signal (luminance signal Y and color-difference signal Cb/Cr) corresponding to the specified color space. An encoding/decoding unit 132 performs data compression on the video signal in accordance with the MPEG4-AVC standard to generate a compressed video signal to be recorded on a recording medium 135. A CPU 121 is configured to generate a color space identifier including information indicating the color space specified by the user and is configured so that an access unit including an SPS NAL unit in the compressed video signal includes an SEI NAL unit in which the color space identifier is stored. The video signal recorded on the recording medium 135 is a signal to which a color space identifier having information for a color space of that video signal is added.
