A technique for sequentially updating a recording medium as if sub
contents, related to a video image as a main content recorded on the
recording medium, are stored on the recording medium, such that the sub
contents can be reproduced. When reproduction of the video image as a
main content recorded on an optical disk has been completed, a content
server is accessed in accordance with bind definition designation
information stored on the optical disk. Then, bind definition information
in which link information to access a sub content such as special video
images stored on the content server is described is downloaded. Then,
based on the downloaded bind definition information, the link information
to access the sub content is stored onto the optical disk, thereby the
sub content can be reproduced.
