Controller to move contents and control method thereof

A management system to move contents that moves a content and accumulates the content in a medium, comprising:

• first accumulating means for accumulating the content in a first medium,
• second accumulating means for accumulating in a second medium a split content obtained by splitting the content, at the time when the content is accumulated in the first medium,
• storing means for storing management information regarding content movement, including at least information as to accumulating the split content in said second medium, information which specifies the second medium to accumulate the split content, and information which specifies the split content,
• verifying means for verifying said second medium and the split content, by use of the information which specifies said second medium and said split content,
• combining processing means for combining the content accumulated in said first medium with the content accumulated in said second medium, and
• means for rendering said split content accumulated in the second medium to be playback impracticable, when said combining processing is performed.

A management method to move contents that moves a content among media, comprising:

• a first step of storing in a storage unit management information regarding content movement,
• a second step of moving the content, the step performing processing to read out and move the content stored in a first medium, and to write the content into a second medium,
• a third step of checking whether or not there occurs an error in the course of moving said content,
• a fourth step of rendering the content existing in said first medium to be playback impracticable, the content corresponding to the content having been moved to said second medium if it is determined that there is no error occurrence,
• a fifth step of verifying the second medium as a target and the content, if it is determined as said error occurrence and said content movement is still continued, by use of information which specifies the second medium and information which specifies the content, both included in the management information,
• a sixth step of grasping a position where said content movement to said second medium is completed, so as to be aware of the position of the content from which the movement is to be started continuously, and
• a seventh step of moving the content, the step performing processing to read out the content stored in the first medium corresponding to said position, and to write the content into the second medium.

• a fifth step of verifying said second medium as a target and the content, if it is determined as said error occurrence and said content movement is to be reconstructed, by use of information which specifies the second medium and information which specifies the content, both included in said management information,
• a sixth step of grasping a position where the playback of the content is possible, so as to be aware of the position of the content from which the reconstruction is to be started, and
• a seventh step of performing processing to read out the content stored in said second medium corresponding to said position, and write the content into the first medium.

A program to execute, on a CPU, a management method to move contents that moves contents among media, comprising:
