Abstract
A reproducing apparatus includes a reproducing section picking up any signals compressed in a plurality of different compression methods from a recording medium. The recording medium records the signals compressed in a plurality of different compression methods and record management information denoting association of the signals compressed in a plurality of different compression methods with each other, respectively. A decoding section decodes the signal picked up from said recording medium, and a recording section records reproduction management information including reproduction-interruption information in the reproducing section associated with the record management information onto the recording medium.

19. A reproducing apparatus, comprising:
-
a reproducing unit that reproduces video data; and a defining unit that defines interruption information which represents where the reproducing unit interrupts a reproduction of the video data, the interruption of the video data by the reproducing unit occurring in response to a user input; wherein the interruption information is recorded on a recording medium; wherein a second reproducing apparatus reproduces the video data, from where the reproducing unit interrupts a reproduction of the video data, based on the interruption information recorded on the recording medium; and wherein the second reproducing apparatus is different from the reproducing apparatus.

21. A system for resuming reproduction, on a second reproducing apparatus, video data which was interrupted during reproduction on a first reproducing apparatus, the first reproducing apparatus being different from the second reproducing apparatus, the system comprising:
-
a recording unit operable to store interruption information on a recording medium, the interruption information representing where the first reproducing apparatus interrupts a reproduction of the video data, the interruption of the video data by the first reproducing apparatus occurring in response to a user input; and a reproducing unit operable to read the interruption information from the recording medium; wherein the second reproducing apparatus is operable to resume reproduction of the video data, from where the first reproducing apparatus interrupted a reproduction of the video data, based on the interruption information.
