Abstract: Picture image data having high image quality is recorded in a disk-shaped recording medium such as a hard disk and a removable disk. A recording apparatus is arranged by a first unit for recording image data with respect to a disk-shaped recording medium in which an outer peripheral sided region thereof is recordable/reproduceable at a higher rate than that of an inner peripheral sided region thereof, and a second unit for designating an attribute of image data recorded in the disk-shaped recording medium. When the second unit designates image data having a large data amount per unit time, the first unit records the image data having the large data amount per unit time in the inner peripheral sided region of the disk-shaped recording medium, whereas when the second unit designates image data having a small data amount per unit time, the first unit records the image data having the small data amount per unit time in the inner peripheral sided region of the disk-shaped recording medium.

Abstract: In a recording and reproducing apparatus having at least one program recorded to recording tracks on a recording medium, management database is recorded on the recording tracks with the program so as to form a management database recording field.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reproducing data recorded in a sector basis from a recording medium. The data recorded in each sector may include audio and/or video data and the data of each sector may be arranged in one or more packets wherein each packet may include a packet start code and a stream identification code located at the beginning of the respective packet which may indicate whether audio or video data is included in the respective packet and/or the type of data included therein. Sector information associated with the sector is detected from the read data. Writing and reading operations of the data read from the recording medium into and from a memory are controlled based on the detected information. As a result, the time required to recover from the occurrence of an error may be reduced.
