On an information recording medium, an entire stream including a plurality
of portion streams, each of which is provided with content information,
is multiplexed-and-recorded by a unit of packet. The information
recording medium is provided with a file for storing object data, which
is provided with a plurality of packets, each of which stores therein a
piece of the content information. The information recording medium is
further provided with a file for storing information which defines a
reproduction sequence of the object data and a file for storing
information for indicating a discontinuous condition of a serial number
of the plurality of packets corresponding to a recording order upon
multiplexing-and-recording. The discontinuous condition is generated by a
lack of the packet upon editing, with respect to the serial number.
