Abstract
A copy-protected-state indicating MPEG-TS data output unit () holds a bit stream obtained by previously compressing and encoding image and/or audio data representing that recording desired by the user has ended in failure because the contents is copy-protected. When copy control information (V) outputted from an IEEE 1394 interface () indicates a copy-protected state, a selecting unit () selects copy-protected-state indicating MPEG-TS data (V) outputted from the copy-protected-state indicating MPEG-TS data output unit () and outputs it as to-be-recorded MPEG-TS data (V). Thereby, the data (V) is recorded.
