With this invention, at least one of a video file containing video
information, a still picture file containing still picture information,
and an audio file containing audio information and a management file
having management information on a control method of reproducing the
information in the file are recorded on an information storage medium.
This realizes a data structure that causes the recording and deleting
places on the information storage medium to correspond spuriously to
places on a single tape, such as a VTR tape. Use of the data structure
provides users with an easy-to-use interface.
