摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reproduce selectively only first coded data in the case of special reproduction. SOLUTION: A picture data is divided into a plurality of groups each of which includes a first coded data coded compressively by a first compressively coding method and a second coded data coded compressively by a second compressively coding method. In a recording apparatus, there is recorded the foregoing picture data wherein the auxiliary information including the information for marking the first coded data, and including the information for indicating the location of the first coded data is coupled to the predetermined location of each sector of the first coded data of each group.
