RECORDING MEDIUM; CONTENT RECORDING; REPRODUCING SYSTEM; CONTENT REPRODUCING APPARATUS; CONTENT RECORDING APPARATUS; AND CONTENT RECODING APPARATUS

摘要

A removable recording medium (101) having an area (102) for storing a content and, when attached to a reproducing apparatus, allowing the content recorded in the area to be reproduced is arranged so as to include, separately from the area (102) for storing the content, an area (103) for storing one or more conditions that allow the content to be reproduced by the reproducing apparatus. With this arrangement, by pre-recording on the recording medium, information for allowing the reproducing apparatus to reproduce a content, the recording apparatus can automatically perform processing such as encoding to a content in accordance with the information recorded on the recording medium and then record the content on the recording medium; and the reproducing apparatus can unconditionally reproduce a content recorded on the recording medium. <IMAGE>
