Abstract
The present invention carried out editing of a management region of a recording medium by carrying out an automatic erase operation as a result of simply designating the start point and end point of the section to be deleted and linking the programs preceding and proceeding the erased portion while carrying out a prescribed section delete function for erasing unnecessary portions of prescribed periods of data recorded on the recording medium. This therefore provides superior delete position designation because the position of the start and end points of the section to be deleted can be adjusted.
