Abstract
Video and audio data is packed as defined in the MPEG and is stored into within a video object unit as a row of packs to be reproduced within a prescribed period of time. Data cells each consisting of a plurality of units are arrayed to constitute a video object. A navigation pack is disposed at a foremost position of the row of packs in the unit. A data cell identification number of the unit is set according to the recordable time length of one data cell that is designated beforehand and actual recording time length. Further, data reproduction termination time is set according to the signal processing time length that is designated beforehand. Furthermore, the termination addresses of one or a plurality of reference information pieces are set according to the predetermined size of reference information that is designated beforehand.
