Claims8
A recording apparatus comprising:
- recording means for recording data to a record medium;
- determining means for determining whether the data can consecutively be reproduced when the data is recorded to the record medium;
- and
- executing means for executing a processing in respect of consecutive reproduction of the data in correspondence with a result of determination of the determining means.
A recording method of a recording apparatus, said recording method comprising:
- a step of recording data to a record medium;
- a step of determining whether the data can consecutively be reproduced when the data is recorded on the record medium;
- and
- a step of executing a processing in respect of consecutive reproduction of the data in correspondence with a result of the determination.
A program offering medium offering a program for executing a processing, said processing comprising:
- a step of recording data to a record medium;
- a step of determining whether the data can consecutively be reproduced when the data is recorded on the record medium;
- and
- a step of executing a processing in respect of consecutive reproduction of the data in correspondence with a result of the determination.
A reproducing apparatus comprising:
- reproducing means for reproducing data recorded on a record medium;
- extracting means for extracting information of consecutive reproduction expressing whether the consecutive reproduction of the data can be executed from the data reproduced by the reproducing means;
- and
- adding means for adding a gap to the data reproduced by the reproducing means in correspondence with the information of the consecutive reproduction extracted from the extracting means.
A reproducing method comprising:
- a step of reproducing data recorded on a record medium;
- a step of extracting information of consecutive reproduction expressing whether the consecutive reproduction of the data can be executed from the reproduced data;
- and
- a step of adding a gap to the reproduced data in correspondence with the extracted information of the consecutive reproduction.
A program offering medium for offering a program executing a processing, said processing comprising:
- a step of reproducing data recorded on a record medium;
- a step of extracting information of consecutive reproduction expressing whether the consecutive reproduction of the data can be executed from the reproduced data;
- and
- a step of adding a gap to the reproduced data in correspondence with the extracted information of the consecutive reproduction.
