1. A data recording apparatus for recording a data stream including an array of packets onto an information recording medium, comprising:
first detection means for detecting reference-time information of said data stream;
first generation means for generating:
first continuity information representing continuity of first time information generated on the basis of a detection result produced by said first detection means;
second continuity information representing continuity of second time information showing arrival times of said packets;
identification information for identifying a first packet array including no discontinuity of said first time information; and
an offset value of said identification information offset value added for each second packet array including no discontinuity of said second time information; and
recording means for recording said first continuity information, said second continuity information and said offset value onto said information recording medium.
