Recording apparatus, recording method, program, recording medium, and data recording medium

A recording method comprising the steps of:

• controlling recording of first management information so that fragments of the first management information and fragments of data are alternately placed, each fragment of the first management information being used to read the corresponding data fragment;
• controlling recording of second management information after all of the data has been recorded, the second management information being used to read all of the data;
• and
• controlling rewrite of the first management information or the data after all of the data has been recorded so that any fragment of the first management information is not used to read the corresponding data fragment,
• wherein the second management information is recorded as a moov box, and the rewrite is controlled so that a name of each, fragment the first management information as an initial moov box or a moof box and all other moof boxes are rewritten to free boxes, that a ftyp box is placed on a top of a respective file, mdat boxes and free boxes are placed alternately after the p box, and the moov box is placed at an end of the file.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a program allowing a computer to execute the steps of:

• controlling recording of first management information so that fragments of the first management information and fragments of data are alternately placed, each fragment of the first management information being used to read the corresponding data fragment;
• controlling recording of second management information after all of the data has been recorded, the second management information being used to read all of the data;
• and
• controlling rewrite of the first management information or the data after all of the data has been recorded so that any fragment of the first management information is not used to read the corresponding data fragment,
• wherein the second management information is recorded as a moov box, and the rewrite is controlled so that a name of each fragment of the first management information as an initial moov box or a moof box and all other moof boxes are rewritten to free boxes, such that a ftyp box is placed on a top of a respective file, mdat boxes and free boxes are placed alternately after the ftyp box, and the moov box is placed at an end of the file.

A recording apparatus comprising:

• a first recording control device configured to control recording of first management information so that fragments of the first management information and fragments of data are alternately placed, each fragment of the first management information being used to read the corresponding data fragment;
• a second recording control device configured to control recording of second management information after all of the data has been recorded, the second management information being used to read all of the data;
• and
• a rewrite control device configured to control rewrite of the first management information or the data after all of the data has been recorded so that any fragment of the first management information is not used to read the corresponding data fragment,
• wherein the second recording control device controls recording of the second management information as a moov box, and the rewrite control device controls rewrite of a name of the first management information so that each fragment of the first management information as an initial moov box or a moof box and all other moof boxes are rewritten to free boxes, such that a ftyp box is placed on a top of a respective file, mdat boxes and free boxes are placed alternately after ftyp box, and the moov box is placed at an end of the file.
