Abstract
In a recording and reproducing apparatus, time stamps are generated which represent moments of arrival of sequentially-inputted packets of data respectively. The generated time stamps are added to the sequentially-inputted packets respectively, and thereby the sequentially-inputted packets are converted into second packets respectively. The second packets are recorded on a recording medium. The second packets are sequentially reproduced from the recording medium. The time stamps in the respective reproduced second packets are detected. A detection is made as to whether each of the detected time stamps is correct or wrong. When a wrong time stamp is detected, a reproduced second packet is discarded which relates to the detected wrong time stamp.
