A copy-protected-state indicating MPEG-TS data output unit ( 3 ) holds a bit stream obtained by previously compressing and encoding image and/or audio data representing that recording desired by the user has ended in failure because the contents is copy-protected. When copy control information (V 2 ) outputted from an IEEE 1394 interface ( 1 ) indicates a copy-protected state, a selecting unit ( 20 ) selects copy-protected-state indicating MPEG-TS data (V 3 ) outputted from the copy-protected-state indicating MPEG-TS data output unit ( 3 ) and outputs it as to-be-recorded MPEG-TS data (V 4 ). Thereby, the data (V 3 ) is recorded.
