  • Patent number: 11636877
    Abstract: A content recording apparatus includes an obtaining unit which obtains a content having a variable-length packet structure, an encrypter which generates encrypted data by encrypting the content, and a recorder which records the encrypted data in a block unit having a fixed length in a recording medium. The encrypted data includes an invalidated region unnecessary for reproduction of the content. The recorder records a size of the invalidated region in the recording medium.

  • Patent number: 10116908
    Abstract: A playback device plays video streams recorded in a recording medium, in which are one or more video streams including at least one of an HDR stream whose dynamic range of luminance of video corresponds to a high dynamic range (HDR), and an SDR stream whose dynamic range of luminance of video corresponds to a standard dynamic range (SDR) narrower than HDR, and identification information indicating whether the HDR stream is included in the one or more video streams. A playback method of the playback device includes: reading the identification information from the recording medium; acquiring playback capability information indicating whether the playback device can play the HDR stream, and display capability information indicating whether a connected display device can display the HDR video; and deciding on a video stream from the one or more video streams, according to the identification information, the playback capability information, and the display capability information.
