Abstract
An information recording apparatus (SS1) is provided with: a signal process device (72, 72A, 72B) for applying a predetermined signal process to record information to be recorded onto an information record medium (1: DVD) to thereby generate processed record information (Srv, Sra) comprising a plurality of information units (AAU, AF), which are set in advance; a divide device (72, 72C, 72D) for dividing the processed record information by each record unit (APT), which includes one or more information units and which is set in advance on the basis of the predetermined signal process; a multiplex device (72, 72E, 72F) for setting a start position of one or more information units within each record unit, on the basis of control information (Si) inputted from the external (ST, 71) to control a reproduction of the record information, generating start position information (200) indicating the start position and multiplexing the start position information with the processed record information for each record unit, to thereby generate multiplexed processed record information (Sr); and a record device (77, 78) for recording the multiplexed processed record information onto the information record medium.
