Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a data processing unit that verifies data recorded on a disk and reproduces content recorded on the disk if a verification condition is satisfied. The data processing unit verifies the validity of an ID inserter that has recorded, on the disk, an ID corresponding to the disk. The data processing unit acquires an ID inserter certificate containing an apparatus ID of the ID inserter that has recorded the ID corresponding to the disk on the disk and an ID inserter blacklist having apparatus IDs of invoked ID inserters registered therein, determines whether the apparatus ID contained in the ID inserter certificate is registered in the ID inserter blacklist so as to verify the validity of the ID inserter that has recorded the ID corresponding to the disk, and stops reproduction of the content if it is determined that the ID inserter is not valid.

Abstract: A data placement configuration which ensures seamless playback of contents having segment portions including multiple different variations of encrypted data is provided. With regard to contents having segment portions configured of multiple different variations of encrypted data to which individual segment keys have been applied, and non-segment portions serving as encrypted data to which a unit key has been applied, the placement of segment data and non-segment portion configuration data is determined such that the maximum jump distance executed at the time of playback processing is equal to or less than a maximum jump distance set beforehand. Data placement has been determined based on seek time, ECC block processing time, sequence key usage time which is key switchover time, and so forth.

In an information recording medium storing many pieces of content for example, each of segmented pieces of content may be managed.

Abstract: Executes a re-encoding after decoding data of a connection section A of a first MPEG picture data. This re-encoding is executed based on a control such that a transition of a VBV buffer occupation value starts from a VBV buffer occupation value at a position a and ends with a VBV buffer occupation value at a position d. Up to the position a of the first MPEG picture data, the first MPEG picture data is reproduced. Next, re-encoded MPEG picture data of the connection section A is reproduced. Thereafter, the data is connected to the position d of a second MPEG picture data, and the second MPEG picture data of the position d and after is reproduced.
