Abstract
The present invention relates to a recording/reproducing method, a recording/reproducing apparatus and a recording medium. In the conventional art, there is no method of distinguishing a program recorded on an RE layer by an application on a ROM layer, from a program recorded on the RE layer by a user, on a hybrid disc. The present invention solves a problem as described above by separating a playlist for recording performed by the application on the ROM layer, from a playlist for recording performed by the user, and retaining information indicating a subject which has performed the recording.
Claims5
A recording method of recording information on a recording medium including a reproduction-only data layer and a recording/reproduction data layer, the recording method comprising the steps of:
- recording management information indicating that a program on the reproduction-only data layer has performed recording, in a first playlist under a PLAYLIST directory on the recording/reproduction data layer by the program on the reproduction-only data layer;
- and
- recording management information indicating that a user has performed recording, in a second playlist under the PLAYLIST directory by the user,
- wherein a file name of the first playlist is a character string “abcde” representing a 5-digit integer A, a file name of the second playlist is a character string “vwxyz” representing a 5-digit integer Z, the 5-digit integer A is equal to or larger than a constant S, and the 5-digit integer Z is smaller than the constant S.
A recording apparatus for recording information on a recording medium including a reproduction-only data layer and a recording/reproduction data layer, the recording apparatus comprising:
- a recording unit configured to record management information indicating that a program on the reproduction-only data layer has performed recording in a first playlist under a PLAYLIST directory on the recording/reproduction data layer by the program on the reproduction-only data layer;
- and
- a recording unit configured to record management information indicating that a user has performed recording in a second playlist under the PLAYLIST directory by the user,
- wherein a file name of the first playlist is a character string “abcde” representing a 5-digit integer A, a file name of the second playlist is a character string “vwxyz” representing a 5-digit integer Z, the 5-digit integer A is equal to or larger than a constant S, and the 5-digit integer Z is smaller than the constant S.
A reproducing method of reproducing information from a recording medium including a reproduction-only data layer and a recording/reproduction data layer, the reproducing method comprising the steps of:
- reproducing management information indicating that a program on the reproduction-only data layer has performed recording, from a first playlist under a PLAYLIST directory on the recording/reproduction data layer by the program on the reproduction-only data layer;
- and
- reproducing management information indicating that a user has performed recording, from a second playlist under the PLAYLIST directory by the user,
- wherein a file name of the first playlist is a character string “abcde” representing a 5-digit integer A, a file name of the second playlist is a character string “vwxyz” representing a 5-digit integer Z, the 5-digit integer A is equal to or larger than a constant S, and the 5-digit integer Z is smaller than the constant S.
A reproducing apparatus for reproducing information from a recording medium including a reproduction-only data layer and a recording/reproduction data layer, the reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a reproducing unit configured to reproduce management information indicating that a program on the reproduction-only data layer has performed recording from a first playlist under a PLAYLIST directory on the recording/reproduction data layer by the program on the reproduction-only data layer;
- and
- a reproducing unit configured to reproduce management information indicating that a user has performed recording from a second playlist under the PLAYLIST directory by the user,
- wherein a file name of the first playlist is a character string “abcde” representing a 5-digit integer A, a file name of the second playlist is a character string “vwxyz” representing a 5-digit integer Z, the 5-digit integer A is equal to or larger than a constant S, and the 5-digit integer Z is smaller than the constant S.
A recording medium including a reproduction-only data layer and a recording/reproduction data layer, comprising:
- on the recording/reproduction data layer, a PLAYLIST directory, a first playlist having management information indicating that a program on the reproduction-only data layer has performed recording, and a second playlist having management information indicating that a user has performed recording, and
- wherein a file name of the first playlist is a character string “abcde” representing a 5-digit integer A, a file name of the second playlist is a character string “vwxyz” representing a 5-digit integer Z, the 5-digit integer A is equal to or larger than a constant S, and the 5-digit integer Z is smaller than the constant S.
