INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM WHEREIN STREAM CONVERTIBLE AT HIGH-SPEED IS RECORDED, AND RECORDING APPARATUS AND RECORDING METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

An information recording medium wherein a stream, which is recorded in a control format allowing format conversion from a first format (MPEG-TS) to a second format (MPEG-PS) and is seamlessly connected, can be converted into a second stream, and an apparatus and a method for recording information in the information recording medium. The control format is provided for converting the first format (for instance, MPEG transport stream) into the second format (for instance, MPEG program stream). According to the control format, when it is indicated that connection information of a reproducing section is to be seamlessly reproduced, a system stream just before a seamless connection point terminates at a complete data control unit (Capsule).
