Abstract

A BD media with different formats such as BDMV and BDAV having been recorded. In a data indicating method of list-indicating data recorded on a recording medium, the data includes a first data group and a second data group, the first data group is recorded onto the recording medium according to a first recording format, the second data group is recorded according to a second recording format different from the first recording format, the first recording data group includes first list indication data for a first list indicating method, the second group includes second list for a second list indicating method different from the first method, the first list indication data indicates the first data group, the second list indication data indicates the second data group, and the first group and the second data group are collectively list-indicated.

Claims

1. A data reproducing method of reproducing data having been recorded on a recording medium, comprising the steps of:

recording data on said recording medium, said data including a first data group and a second data group, said first data group being recorded under a subdirectory, which is under an upper directory higher than the subdirectory, onto said recording medium in accordance with a BDAV recording format, said second data group being recorded under another subdirectory, which is under the upper directory higher than the other subdirectory, onto said recording medium in accordance with a BDMV recording format different from said BDAV recording format, said first recording data group including first list indication data which is used for a first list indicating method applicable to data under the BDAV recording format, said second recording data group including second list indication data which is used for a second list indicating method applicable to data under the BDMV recording format, different from said first list indicating method, said first list indication data corresponding to said first data group, and said second list indication data corresponding to said second data group

recording, on the recording medium, information on a flag for performing the first data group and the second data group to be list-indicated, wherein the flag includes a coexistence flag which indicates coexistence of the subdirectory and the other subdirectory, and the coexistence flag is stored as a file under the subdirectory or the other subdirectory;

reproducing the information on the flag; and

list-indicating said first data group and said second data group according to the information reproduced, wherein said first data group and said second data group are collectively list-indicated if the coexistence flag is detected.

2. A data recording device for recording data onto a recording medium, comprising:

a data recording unit for recording the data; and

a control unit for controlling the data recording unit and the recording medium, wherein;

the control unit is configured to control the recording medium so as to record said data including at least a first data group and a second data group, said first data group being recorded under a subdirectory, which is under an upper directory higher than the subdirectory, onto the recording medium in accordance with a BDAV recording format, and said second data group being recorded under another subdirectory, which is under the upper directory higher than the other subdirectory, onto the recording medium in accordance with a BDMV recording format different from said first recording format, said first recording data group including first list indication data for a first list indicating method applicable to data under the BDAV recording format, and said second recording data group including second list indication data for a second list indicating method, said first list indication data indicating said first data group and said second list indication data indicating said second data group, and

the control unit controls the recording medium so as to send a coexistence flag for permitting the first data group and the second data group to be list-indicated when the second data group is to be recorded onto the recording medium on which the first data group has been already recorded, and to record the second data group, wherein;

the coexistence flag indicates coexistence of the subdirectory and the other subdirectory,

the coexistence flag is stored as a file under the subdirectory or the other subdirectory, and

said first data group and said second data group are collectively list-indicated if the coexistence flag is detected.

3. A data reproducing device for reproducing data having been recorded on a recording medium, comprising:

a data reproducing unit for reproducing the data; and

a control unit for controlling the data reproducing unit and the recording medium;

wherein;

the control unit controls the recording medium so as to record data on said recording medium, said data including a first data group and a second data group, said first data group being recorded under a subdirectory, which is under an upper directory higher than the subdirectory, onto said recording medium in accordance with a BDAV recording format, said second data group being recorded under another subdirectory, which is under the upper directory higher than the other subdirectory, onto said recording medium in accordance with a BDMV recording format different from said BDAV recording format, said first recording data group including first list indication data which is used for a first indicating method applicable to data under the BDAV recording format, said second recording data group including second list indication data which is used for a second list indicating method applicable to data under the BDMV recording format different from said first list indicating method, said first list indication data corresponding to said first data group, and said second list indication data corresponding to said second data group;

the control unit controls the recording medium so as to record information on a flag for performing the first data group and the second data group to be list-indicated;

the flag includes a coexistence flag, which indicates coexistence of the subdirectory and the other subdirectory;

the coexistence flag is stored as a file under the subdirectory or the other subdirectory;

said first data group and said second data group are collectively list-indicated if the coexistence flag is detected; and

the control unit controls the data reproducing unit so as to reproduce the information on the flag and also to list-indicate said first data group and said second data group according to the information reproduced.

4. A data recording method of recording data onto a recording medium, comprising the steps of:

recording said data including at least a first data group and a second data group, said first data group being recorded under a subdirectory, which is under an upper directory higher than the subdirectory, onto the recording medium in accordance with a BDAV recording format, said second data group being recorded under another subdirectory, which is under the upper directory higher than the other subdirectory, onto the recording medium in accordance with a BDMV recording format different from said first recording format, said first recording data group including first list indication data for a first list indicating method applicable to data under the BDAV recording format, said second recording data group including second list indication data for a second list indicating method applicable to data under the BDMV recording format different from said first list indicating method, said first list indication data indicating said first data group and said second list indication data indicating said second data group;

recording a coexistence flag for permitting the first data group and the second data group to be list-indicated when the second data group is to be recorded onto the recording medium on which the first data group has been already recorded, wherein;

the coexistence flag indicates coexistence of the subdirectory and the other subdirectory,

the coexistence flag is stored as a file under the subdirectory or the other subdirectory, and

said first data group and said second data group are collectively list-indicated if the coexistence flag is detected; and

recording the second data group.
