[0089]In the first embodiment, the setting of the protection attribute is input by the user according to the schedule and numbers. In a second embodiment, the protection attribute setting will be received along with the reproduction process. More particularly, in the second embodiment, pressing the record key of the remote controller while the HD area is being reproduced will set the protection attribute to the broadcast program being reproduced. Also, pressing the memo key of the remote controller will set the attribute to the area from the current reproduction point to α hours later.

[0090] The second embodiment is characterized by the reproduction control unit 11 . In the second embodiment, reproduction control unit 11 obtains a time stamp defining the reproduction time of each VOBU every time a VOBU is read out from the HD area, and judges which broadcast program each VOBU belongs to. (The result of the judgment is referred to as "current program".) The time stamp is t...

Abstract

The continuous recording controlling unit (10) performs the continuous recording process and stores VOBUs broadcasted from N hours ago to the current time in the HDD (5). The recording apparatus receives a specification from the user as to which period of the recording between N hours ago and the current time should be retained. The protective attribute setting unit (13) sets a protective attribute to a part of the HDD (5) that corresponds to the period specified by the user. The continuous recording process is performed by overwriting one of the VOBUs recorded on the HDD (5) with a newly obtained VOBU, but the part of the HDD (5) to which the protective attribute is set is protected against overwriting.
