Information storage medium, information recording method, information playback method, information recording apparatus, and information playback apparatus

摘要

This invention provides a scheme that can indicate whether or not a plurality of objects have logical continuity when there are plurality of objects recorded by stream recording. Management information of a storage medium includes information (ESOB_SMLI) indicating continuity between a plurality of objects. When the plurality of objects include leading and trailing objects, the information (ESOB_SMLI) indicating continuity includes a continuous recording flag indicating that the trailing and leading objects are continuously recorded.
In an MPEG-encoded transport stream, the information indicating continuity is a system time clock continous flag and a packet arrival time continous flag.
