Recording sections configured to record titles on a disk based on a
management method in which additional recording and erasing of each title
is possible, and each of the titles are recorded consecutively in a
recording region, and the recorded each title is managed by a manager
table which corresponds with the title candidate attached before the
finalizing processing is carried out, the start position, and size, and
in the case where a recorded title is erased, the region where erasure
has been done becomes a recordable empty region and reference to the
start position and size from the title candidate of the erased title
becomes impossible on the manager table, and a first control section
configured to designate the appropriate empty region for recording the
title for which reserve recording is requested, from the empty regions
present on the disk when the reserve recording of the title on the disk
has been requested.
