In a case of recording and managing a program which has a plurality of image streams in one program, it is necessary to address which stream a logic table which records a position of an I picture for high-speed fast forwarding and rewinding corresponds to.In a recording method which records a digital broadcast, in particular one method is provided which records and manages the program which has the plurality of image streams in one program.In the case in which there are a plurality of image streams in one program, as information which indicates which stream the logic table of the I picture, for carrying out the fast forwarding and rewinding operations quickly, corresponds to, a component tag fixed by a European or Japanese digital broadcast standard is recorded with the logic table. Also, in the event of recording an American broadcast stream, in digital broadcast standards of which there is no component tag regulation, a value of a program map table (PMT), which indicates one of the plurality of streams, is recorded.
