Abstract

In this invention, a predetermined amount of data is given as one frame, and data having a predetermined format is recorded for each frame. A first area recording main data and a second area recording sub data are formed in each frame. Plural types of units each consisting of a plurality of frames are set, and a number of first units from a leading end of a recording medium and the numbers of other units from the leading end of the recording medium to a trailing end of the first units are recorded in the second area of a frame constituting the unit including the trailing end, thus facilitating a high-speed search operation.
